We propose a method to minimize power dissipation in current-mode CMOS analog and multiple-valued logic (MVL) circuits employing a stack of current comparators. First, we present ...
— This paper describes a new power minimizing method by optimizing supply voltage control and minimizing leakage in active and standby modes, respectively. In the active mode, th...
Current mode (ECL) logic has long been the option of choice in those applications requiring logic functions at multigigahertz rates. This trend continues despite the obvious very ...
There is a growing need to analyze and optimize the stand-by component of power in digital circuits designed for portable and battery-powered applications. Since these circuits re...

— Power gating is widely accepted as an efficient way to suppress subthreshold leakage current. Yet, it suffers from gate leakage current, which grows very fast with scaling dow...
