Power Reduction Techniques for Asynchronous Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Power reduction is one of the main reasons for designing asynchronous circuits. Asynchronous circuits are inherently capable of having low power consumption. In this paper, we introduce five methods to achieve even lower power consumption. We have applied these methods to some sample circuits and the experimental results show that power reduction of 20% to 41% is obtainable.

Standby Power Reduction Techniques for Asynchronous Circuits with Indeterminate Standby States
In the literature, some schemes were proposed to combine Multi-Threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) with asynchronous circuits to reduce standby power consumption. However, all of these can only be applied to asynchronous circuits in which the values of all signals can be determined in the standby state. As a result, their applications are limited. To solve this problem, this paper develops standby power re...
متن کاملA Survey on Static Power Reduction Techniques in Asynchronous Circuits
With the technology down scaling the area of each device in a chip reduces. Lesser area increases the power consumption. In current technologies leakage current is the major part in power consumption. Power gating is a technique which has been used to reduce leakage power by shutting off the power when no activity done by the logic. These helps to reduce the power consumption, delay and switchi...
متن کاملDesigning Asynchronous Circuits for Low Power: An IFIR Filter Bank for a Digital Hearing Aid - Proceedings of the IEEE
This paper addresses the design of asynchronous circuits for low power through an example: a filter bank for a digital hearing aid. The asynchronous design re-implements an existing synchronous circuit which is used in a commercial product. For comparison, both designs have been fabricated in the same 0.7m CMOS technology. When processing typical data (less than 50-dB sound pressure), the async...
متن کاملAn Improved Standard Cell Placement Methodology using Hybrid Analytic and Heuristic Techniques
In recent years, size of VLSI circuits is dramatically grown and layout generation of current circuits has become a dominant task in design flow. Standard cell placement is an effective stage of physical design and quality of placement affects directly on the performance, power consumption and signal immunity of design. Placement can be performed analytically or heuristically. Analytical placer...
متن کاملAsynchronous Circuits: An Increasingly Practical Design Solution
While ultra-deep-submicron design presents increasingly difficult challenges for standard synchronous design practices, recent research in asynchronous design techniques is making asynchronous circuits an increasingly practical alternative. These challenges include the increasing pressure for low-power, the growing challenge of predicting increasing impact of wire load and delay, and the perfor...
