Total power reduction in CMOS circuits via gate sizing and multiple threshold voltages
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. ...

Total leakage power optimization with improved mixed gates
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 ...

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...
