Abstract--Design of a suitable power gating (e.g., multithreshold CMOS or super cutoff CMOS) structure is an important and challenging task in sub-90nm VLSI circuits where leakage ...
— Clock-gating and power-gating have proven to be very effective solutions for reducing dynamic and static power, respectively. The two techniques may be coupled in such a way th...

Gate sizing in VLSI design is a widely-used method for power or area recovery subject to timing constraints. Several previous works have proposed gate sizing heuristics for power ...
Clock skew scheduling has been traditionally considered as a tool for improving the clock period in a sequential circuit. Timing slack is "stolen" from fast combinationa...
