-- Aggressive CMOS scaling results in low threshold voltage and thin oxide thickness for transistors manufactured in deep submicron regime. As a result, reducing the subthreshold a...
This paper proposes an optimum methodology for assigning supply and threshold voltages to modules in a CMOS circuit such that the overall energy consumption is minimized for a giv...
We describe an optimization strategy for minimizing total power consumption using dual threshold voltage (Vth) technology. Significant power savings are possible by simultaneous a...
