Energy Reduction and Fundamental Energy Limits in Digital VLSI Circuits

Energy-efficiency bounds for deep submicron VLSI systems in the presence of noise

In this paper, we present an algorithm for computing the bounds on energy-efficiency of digital very large scale integration (VLSI) systems in the presence of deep submicron noise. The proposed algorithm is based on a soft-decision channel model of noisy VLSI systems and employs information–theoretic arguments. Bounds on energy-efficiency are computed for multimodule systems, static gates, dyna...

An efficient CAD tool for High-Level Synthesis of VLSI digital transformers

Digital transformers are considered as one of the digital circuits being widely used in signal and data processing systems, audio and video processing, medical signal processing as well as telecommunication systems. Transforms such as Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) are among the ones being commonly used in this area. As an illu...

A Fundamental Basis for Power-Reduction in VLSI Circuits - Circuits and Systems, 1996., ISCAS '96, 'Connecting the World'., 1996 IEEE International Symposium

Presented in this paper is a fundamental mathematical basis for power-reduction in VLSI systems. This basis is employed to 1.) derive lower bounds on the power dissipation in digital systems and 2.) unify existing power-reduction techniques under a common framework. The proposed basis is derived from information-theoretic arguments. In particular, a digital signal processing algorithm is viewed...

An Octo Coding Technique to Reduce Energy Transition in Low Power Vlsi Circuits

System on–chip design in deep submicron technology interconnects plays an important role in overall performance of the chip. Digital circuits consists of a number of interconnected logic gates which together perform a logic operation with more input signals. When an input signal changes the change will propagates via the gates to the circuit generating energy transition The signal transition ca...
