Power Gating has become one of the most widely used circuit design techniques for
reducing leakage current. Its concept is very simple, but its application to standard-cell VLSI …

The application of power gating to cell-based semi-custom design typically calls for
customized cell libraries, which incurs substantial engineering efforts. In this brief, a …

Logic Synthesis for Low Power VLSI Designs presents a systematic and comprehensive
treatment of power modeling and optimization at the logic level. More precisely, this book …

Active leakage is transient, which can be suppressed by design techniques such as dual-Vt.
Active-mode power-gating (AMPG) can further reduce active leakage by power-gating …

As advances in lithography and fabrication of the N-type metal oxide superconductor
(NMOS) technology became possible in the 1970s, the bipolar digital logic, transistor …

Low power has emerged as a principal theme in today's electronics industry. The need for
low power has caused a major paradigm shift where power dissipation has become as …

In this paper, we present an approach for applying two supply voltages to optimize power in
CMOS digital circuits under the timing constraints. Given a technology-mapped network, we …

A novel power gating structure is proposed for low-power, high-performance VLSI. This
power gating structure supports an intermediate power saving mode as well as a traditional …
