This paper proposes an ATPG technique that reduces power dissipation during the test of sequential circuits. The proposed approach exploits some redundancy introduced during the t...

— Direct tunneling current is the major component of static power dissipation of a CMOS circuit for technology below 65nm, where the gate dielectric (SiO2) is very low. We intuit...

This paper presents a power reduction mechanism for the write operation in register files (RegFiles), which adds a conditional charge-sharing structure to the pair of complementar...
-- Aggressive CMOS scaling results in low threshold voltage and thin oxide thickness for transistors manufactured in deep submicron regime. As a result, reducing the subthreshold a...
Global variable promotion, i.e. allocating unaliased globals to registers, can significantly reduce the number of memory operations. This results in reduced cache activity and less...
