In this paper we describe an area efficient power minimization scheme "Control Generated ClockingI` that saves significant amounts of power in datapath registers and clock dr...
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...

Reducing circuit's peak current plays an important role in circuit reliability in deep sub-micron era. For sequential circuits, it is observed that the peak current has a str...
The paper presents a synthesis approach for pipelinelike controller structures. These structures allow to implement a built-in self-test in two sessions without any extra test reg...
A regular circuit structure called a Whirlpool PLA (WPLA) is proposed. It is suitable for the implementation of finite state machines as well as combinational logic. A WPLA is ...
