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 …

Low power has emerged as a principal theme in today's electronics industry. The need for
low power has caused a major paradigm shift in which power dissipation is as important as …

Low supply voltage requires the device threshold to be reduced in order to maintain
performance. Due to the exponential relationship between leakage current and threshold …

Low power has emerged as a principal theme in today's electronics industry. The need for
low power has caused a major paradigm shift where power dissipation has become as …

Reduction in leakage power has become an important concern in low-voltage, low-power,
and high-performance applications. In this paper, we use the dual-threshold technique to …

Dynamic power management is a design methodology aiming at controlling performance
and power levels of digital circuits and systems, with the goal of extending the autonomous …

We present a dynamic programming technique for solving the multiple supply voltage
scheduling problem in both nonpipelined and functionally pipelined data-paths. The …

In the past, the major concern of the VLSI designers werearea, performance, cost, and
reliability. In recent years, however, this has changed and, increasingly, power is beinggiven …

In this paper, several classes of parallel, synchronous adders are surveyed based on their
power, delay and area characteristics. The adders studied include the linear time ripple …

Over the years, the fundamentals of VLSI technology have evolved to include a wide range
of topics and a broad range of practices. To encompass such a vast amount of knowledge …
