Gate Sizing and V{t} Assignment for Active-Mode Leakage Power Reduction
Leakage current is a key factor in IC power consumption even in the active operating mode. We investigate the simultaneous optimization of gate size and threshold voltage to reduc...

Switching-activity driven gate sizing and Vth assignment for low power design
Power consumption has gained much saliency in circuit design recently. One design problem is modelled as ”Under a timing constraint, to minimize power as much as possible”. Pr...

Leakage power-aware clock skew scheduling: converting stolen time into leakage power reduction
Clock skew scheduling has been traditionally considered as a tool for improving the clock period in a sequential circuit. Timing slack is "stolen" from fast combinationa...

The epsilon-approximation to discrete VT assignment for leakage power minimization
As VLSI technology reaches 45nm technology node, leakage power optimization has become a major design challenge. Threshold voltage (vt) assignment has been extensively studied, du...

Total power optimization combining placement, sizing and multi-Vt through slack distribution management
Power dissipation is quickly becoming one of the most important limiters in nanometer IC design for leakage increases exponentially as the technology scaling down. However, power ...
