Optimization of combinational and sequential logic circuits for low power using precomputation
Precomputation is a recently proposed logic optimization technique which selectively disables the inputs of a sequential logic circuit, thereby reducing switching activity and pow...

Jitter-Induced Power/ground Noise in CMOS PLLs: A Design Perspective
CMOS Phase-locked loops (PLL) are ubiquitous in RF and mixed-signal integrated circuits. PLLs are very sensitive to noise fluctuations on the power and ground rails. In this paper...

Double-Tree Scan: A Novel Low-Power Scan-Path Architecture
In a scan-based system with a large number of flip-flops, a major component of power is consumed during scanshift and clocking operation in test mode. In this paper, a novel scan-...

Clock-tree power optimization based on RTL clock-gating
As power consumption of the clock tree in modern VLSI designs tends to dominate, measures must be taken to keep it under control. This paper introduces an approach for reducing cl...
