Power Consumption Analysis in CMOS Static Gates
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses power consumption in CMOS logic gates through an study considering the design and technology points-of-view. Through SPICE simulations, the relationship between charge/discharge and short-circuit components of dynamic power consumption are investigated both considering different logic gates and its evolution through technology scaling. Experimental results show that dynamic power consumption is still the main source of power dissipation in standard cell based design, whereas the short-circuit component seems to decrease through technology scaling. Static power consumption, on the other hand, keeps growing at each new node, and research effort has to be made to overcome it. Keywords— CMOS, digital circuits, power dissipation, shortcircuit, logic gate.

Low voltage dual mode logic: Model analysis and parameter extraction
The Dual Model Logic (DML) family, which was recently introduced by our group for sub-threshold operation, provides an alternative design methodology to the existing low power digital design techniques. DML gates allow switching between static and dynamic modes of operation on-the-fly according to system requirements, presenting better tradeoff between Energy consumption and performance. In sta...

Substantial increase in gate and sub-threshold leakage of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) devices is making it extremely challenging to achieve energy-efficient designs while continuing their scaling at the same pace as in the past few decades. Designers constantly sacrifice higher levels of performance to limit the ever-increasing leakage power consumption. One possible solution...
متن کاملPower Dissipation Associated to Internal Effect Transitions in Static CMOS Gates
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 f...

In this paper, a new circuit scheme is proposed to reduce the power consumption of dynamic circuits. In the proposed circuit, an NMOS keeper transistor is used to maintain the voltage level in the output node against charge sharing, leakage current and noise sources. Using the proposed keeper scheme, the voltage swing on the dynamic node is lowered to reduce the power consumption of wide fan-in...
