Combining Dual-Supply, Dual-Threshold and Transistor Sizing for Power Reduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiple supply voltages, multiple transistor thresholds and transistor sizing could be used to reduce the power dissipation of digital blocks. This paper presents a framework for evaluating the effectiveness of each of these approaches independently and in conjunction with each other. Results show the advantages of multiple supply, transistor sizing, and multiple threshold can be compounded to maximize power reduction. The order of application of these techniques determines the final savings in active and leakage power.

Using Dual-Supply, Dual-Threshold and Transistor Sizing to Reduce Power in Digital Integrated Circuits
(Date)-ii-Abstract In both high and low performance circuits, both active and leakage control of power consumption is critical. This research focuses on the use of multiple threshold voltages, multiple supply voltages and transistor sizing to reduce power in digital circuits. Non-critical paths are slowed down by either raising the threshold voltage, lowering the supply, downsizing gates, or a ...

We demonstrate a novel algorithm for assigning the threshold voltage to the gates in a digital random logic complementary metal—oxide—semiconductor (CMOS) circuit for a dual-threshold voltage process. The tradeoff between static and dynamic power consumption has been explored. When used along with device sizing and supply voltage reduction techniques for low power, the proposed algorithm can re...

We introduce a new dual threshold voltage technique for domino logic. Since domino logic is much more sensitive to noise, noise margins have to be taken into account when applying dual threshold voltages to domino logic. To guarantee the signal integrity in domino logic, we carefully consider the effect of transistor sizing and threshold voltage selection. For optimal design, tradeoffs need to ...

Power dissipation in high performance systems requires more expensive packaging. In this situation, low power VLSI design has assumed great importance as an active and rapidly developing field. As the density and operating speed of CMOS VLSI chip increases, power dissipation becomes more significant due to the leakage current when transistor is OFF. This can be observed in both combinational an...
