Simultaneous switching noise (SSN) has become an important issue in the design of the internal on-chip power distribution networks in current very large scale integration/ultra lar...
In this paper we explore the relationship between adder topology and energy efficiency. We compare the energy-delay tradeoff curves of selected 32-bit adder topologies, to determi...

This paper explores low-power reliable microarchitectures for addition. Power, speed, and reliability (both defect- and fault-tolerance) are important metrics of system design, sp...

Dual-supply voltage design using a clustered voltage scaling (CVS) scheme is an effective approach to reduce chip power. The optimal CVS design relies on a level converter (LC) im...
The energy efficiency of systems-on-a-chip can be much improved if one were to vary the supply voltage dynamically at run time. In this paper we describe the synthesis of systems-...
