چکیده

With the advent of portable and high-density microelectronic devices, the power dissipation of very large scale integrated (VLSI) circuits is becoming a critical concern. Accurate and e cient power estimation during the design phase is required in order to meet the power speci cations without a costly redesign process. In this paper, we present a review/tutorial of the power estimation techniques that have recently been proposed. Invited, IEEE Trans. on VLSI, Dec. 1994.

A Minimal-Cost Inherent-Feedback Approach for Low-Power MRF-Based Logic Gates

The Markov random field (MRF) theory has been accepted as a highly effective framework for designing noise-tolerant nanometer digital VLSI circuits. In MRF-based design, proper feedback lines are used to control noise and keep the circuits in their valid states. However, this methodology has encountered two major problems that have limited the application of highly noise immune MRF-based circui...
