Power Dissipation Associated to Internal Effect Transitions in Static CMOS Gates
نویسندگان
چکیده
Power modeling techniques have traditionally neglected the main part of the energy consumed in the internal nodes of static CMOS gates: the power dissipated by input transitions that do not produce output switching. In this work, we present an experimental set-up that shows that this power component may contribute up to 59% of the total power consumption of a gate in modern technologies. This fact makes very important to include it into any accurate power model.

Using Gate Sizing to Reduce Glitch Power
| With the growing scale of integration and the increased use of battery operated devices the power dissipation of CMOS circuits becomes an important factor in the design process. Power dissipation in CMOS-gates depends on the capacity switched and the transition density. Gate sizing is used to scale gates and their internal capacities. Smaller gates mean smaller capacities and therefore less p...

The need for low power dissipation in portable computing and wireless communication is making design communities accept ultra low voltage CMOS processes. With the lowering of' supply voltage, the transistor thresholds (Vth) have to be scaled down to meet the performance requirements. However, such scaling can increase the leakage current through a transistor, thereby increasing the leakage powe...

As MOSFET sizes and wire widths become very small in recent years, influence of resistive component of interconnects on the estimation of propagation delay and power dissipation can no longer be neglected.

We present a formula of short-circuit power dissipation for static CMOS logic gates. By representing shortcircuit current by a piece-wise linear function and considering a current owing from input node to output node through gate capacitances, the accuracy is improved signi cantly. The error of our formula in a CMOS inverter is less than 15% from circuit simulation in many cases of our experime...
