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...

Minimization of dynamic and static power through joint assignment of threshold voltages and sizing optimization
We describe an optimization strategy for minimizing total power consumption using dual threshold voltage (Vth) technology. Significant power savings are possible by simultaneous a...

Efficient and accurate gate sizing with piecewise convex delay models
We present an efficient and accurate gate sizing tool that employs a novel piecewise convex delay model, handling both rise and fall delays, for static CMOS gates. The delay model...

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...

Timing-Aware Decoupling Capacitance Allocation in Power Distribution Networks
Power supply noise increases the circuit delay, which may lead to performance failure of a design. Decoupling capacitance (decap) addition is effective in reducing the power suppl...
