Activity-driven clock design for low power circuits
In this paper we investigate activity-driven clock trees to reduce the dynamic power consumption of synchronous digital CMOS circuits. Sections of an activity-driven clock tree ca...

Double-Tree Scan: A Novel Low-Power Scan-Path Architecture
In a scan-based system with a large number of flip-flops, a major component of power is consumed during scanshift and clocking operation in test mode. In this paper, a novel scan-...

Activity-Aware Registers Placement for Low Power Gated Clock Tree Construction
As power consumption of the clock tree dominates over 40% of the total power in modern high performance VLSI designs, measures must be taken to keep it under control. One of the m...

Injection-Locked Clocking: A Low-Power Clock Distribution Scheme for High-Performance Microprocessors
Recently we proposed a new clocking scheme, injection-locked clocking (ILC), to combat deteriorating clock skew and jitter, and hence reduce power consumption in highperformance mi...

Low power clock buffer planning methodology in F-D placement for large scale circuit design
Traditionally, clock network layout is performed after cell placement. Such methodology is facing a serious problem in nanometer IC designs where people tend to use huge clock buff...
