Minimizing power consumption is one of the most important objectives in IC design. Resizing gates and assigning different Vt’s are common ways to meet power and timing budgets. ...
Gate oxide tunneling current Igate and sub-threshold current Isub dominate the leakage of designs. The latter depends on threshold voltage Vth while Igate vary with the thickness ...
We describe an optimization strategy for minimizing total power consumption using dual threshold voltage (Vth) technology. Significant power savings are possible by simultaneous a...
