This paper explores the use of serial circuits for ultra-low-power sub-threshold systems. A serial system leads to a smaller design and higher utilization, yielding 40% active ene...
Retiming and resynthesis transformations can be used for optimizing the area, power, and delay of sequential circuits. Even though this technique has been known for more than a de...

We consider active leakage power dissipation in FPGAs and present a “no cost” approach for active leakage reduction. It is well-known that the leakage power consumed by a digi...
