This paper introduces a power-gating scheme appropriate for near-threshold operating of single-phase adiabatic circuits. A transmission gate with MOS bootstrapping scheme is used as the power-gating switch, which is used to reduce energy overhead. CAL (Clocked Adiabatic Logic) circuits are investigated. The analytical model for power-gating adiabatic circuits is constructed, and the energy over...

Specialized accelerators are becoming a standard way to achieve both high-performance and efficient computation. We see this trend extending all areas of computing, from low-power edge-computing systems processors in datacenters. Reconfigurable architectures, such as Coarse-Grained Arrays (CGRAs), attempt find balance between performance energy efficiency by trading off dynamism, flexibility, p...
