Switching model captures the data-driven uncertainty in logic circuits in a comprehensive probabilistic framework. Switching is a critical factor that influences dynamic, active ...
We present techniques for estimating switching activity and power consumption in register-transfer level (RTL) circuits. Previous work on this topic has ignored the presence of gl...
Clock gating is the insertion of combinational logic along the clock path to prevent the unnecessary switching of registers and reduce dynamic power consumption. The conditions un...
Abstract— The memory subsystem is known to comprise a significant fraction of the power dissipation in embedded systems. The memory addressing strategy, which determines the seq...
A test pattern generator (TPG) for built-in self-test (BIST), which can reduce switching activity during test application, is proposed. The proposed TPG, called dual-speed LFSR (DS...
