Higher levels of integration have led to a generation of integrated circuits for which power dissipation and reliability are major design concerns. In CMOS circuits, both of these ...
Precomputation is a recently proposed logic optimization technique which selectively disables the inputs of a sequential logic circuit, thereby reducing switching activity and pow...
A modeling approach is presented that captures the dependence of the power dissipation of a combinational logic circuit on its input output signal switching activity. The resulting...
In this paper, a new type of Petri net called Hierarchical Colored Hardware Petri net, to model real-delay switching activity for power estimation is proposed. The logic circuit i...
Modeling and estimation of switching activities remain to be important problems in low-power design and fault analysis. A probabilistic Bayesian Network based switching model can ...
