timing analysis tools to replace standard deterministic static timing analyzers whereas [8,27] develop approaches for the statistical estimation of leakage power considering within...
We describe an optimization strategy for minimizing total power consumption using dual threshold voltage (Vth) technology. Significant power savings are possible by simultaneous a...

We propose a method for power optimization that considers glitch reduction by gate sizing based on the statistical estimation of glitch transitions. Our method reduces not only th...
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. ...
