Power gating is one of the most effective ways to reduce leakage power. In this paper, we introduce a new relationship among Maximum Instantaneous Current, IR drops and sleep tran...
This paper addresses the problem of power-optimal repeater insertion for global buses in the presence of crosstalk noise. MTCMOS technique by inserting high-Vth sleep transistors ...
With the exponential reduction in the scaling of feature size, inter-wire coupling capacitance becomes the dominant part of load capacitance. Two problems are introduced by coupli...
— Power gating is a circuit technique that enables high performance and low power operation. One of the challenges in power gating is sizing the sleep transistor which is used to...
