To Implement Energy Efficient of Integer Unit by Higher Voltage Flip Flop Based on Minimum operating Dual Supply Voltage Techinque

چکیده
To achieve the most energy-efficient operation, this brief presents a circuit design technique for separating the power supply voltage (VDD) of flip-flops (FFs) from that of combinational circuits, called the higher voltage FF (HVFF). Although VDD scaling can reduce the energy, the minimum operating voltage (VDDmin) of FFs prevents the operation at the optimum supply voltage that minimizes the energy, because the VDDmin of FFs is higher than the optimum supply voltage. In HVFF, the VDD of combinational logic gates is reduced below the VDDmin of FFs while keeping the VDD of FFs at their VDDmin. This makes it possible to minimize the energy without power and delay penalties at the nominal supply voltage (1.2 V) as well as without FF topological difications. A four bit alu is designed in these paper by using dual supply voltage usig DSCH.

متن کاملA dual-pulse-clock double edge triggered flip-flop for low voltage and high speed application
In this paper, a low voltage dual-pulse-clock double edge triggered D'flip-flop (DPDET) is proposed. The DPDET flip-flop uses a split output latch clocked by a short pulse train. Compared to the previously reported double edge triggered flip-flops, the DPDET flip-flop uses only six transistors with two transistors being clocked, operating correctly under low supply voltage. The total transistor...

Contention-less flip-flops (CLFF’s) and separated power supply voltages (VDD) between flip-flops (FF’s) and combinational logics are proposed to achieve a maximum energy efficiency operation. The proposed technologies were applied to a 16-bit integer unit (IU) for media processing in a 65-nm CMOS process.

Multi-Supply voltage design using Cluster Voltage Scaling (CVS) is an effective way to reduce power consumption without performance degradation. One of the major issues in this method is performance and power overheads due to insertion of Level Converting Flip-Flops (LCFF) at the interface from low-supply to high-supply clusters to simultaneously perform latching and level conversion. In this p...
