Power has become an increasingly important design constraint for FPGAs in nanometer technologies, and global interconnects should be the focus of FPGA power reduction as they cons...
— Low energy consumption is a critical issue in embedded systems design. As the technology feature sizes of SoC (Systems on Chip) become smaller and smaller, the percentage of le...
Reducing the supply voltage to reduce dynamic power consumption in CMOS devices, inadvertently will lead to an exponential increase in leakage power dissipation. In this work we ex...

- Modern portable or embedded systems support more and more complex applications. These applications make embedded devices require not only low powerconsumption, but also high comp...
There is a growing need for accurate power models at the system level. Memory structures such as caches, Branch Target Buffers (BTBs), and register files occupy significant area i...

We present a Dynamic VTH Scaling (DVTS) scheme to save the leakage power during active mode of the circuit. The power saving strategy of DVTS is similar to that of the Dynamic VDD...
The Multi-Threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) technology provides a solution to the high performance and low power design requirements of modern designs. While the low Vth transistors are use...
