Abstract— Microcode enables programmability of (micro) architectural structures to enhance functionality and to apply patches to an existing design. As more features get added to...
In the last decade, researchers have devoted increasing efforts to reduce the average power consumption in VLSI systems during normal operation mode, while power consumption durin...
This paper proposes a low power technique, called SBR (Sign Bit Reduction) which may reduce the switching activity in multipliers as well as data buses. Utilizing the multipliers ...
Software-Based Self-Test (SBST) has emerged as an effective strategy for on-line testing of processors integrated in non-safety critical embedded system applications. Among the mo...
