Power gating is emerging as a viable solution to reduction of leakage current. However, power gated circuits are different from the conventional designs in the sense that a power-...
This paper proposes an optimization algorithm for reducing the power dissipation in a sequential circuit. The encoding of the different states in a Finite State Machine is modifie...

Estimation of maximal power consumption is an essential task in VLSI circuit realizations since power value significantly affects the reliability of the circuits. The key issue o...
For circuits where there may be latches with no reset line, we show how to replace some of them with combinational logic. All previous work in sequential optimization by latch rem...
