We investigate techniques to design 45nm minimum-energy subthreshold CMOS circuits under timing constraints, considering the practical case of an 8-bit multiplier. We first show ...
In this paper, we identify the key challenges that oppose subthreshold circuit design and describe fabricated chips that verify techniques for overcoming the challenges. Categorie...

Abstract— Over the last decade, the design of ultra-lowpower digital circuits in subthreshold regime has been driven by the quest for minimum energy per operation. In this contri...

In this paper, we observe that minimum energy Emin of subthreshold logic dramatically increases when reaching 45 nm node. We demonstrate by circuit simulation and analytical model...
