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 ...
Abstract—This article discusses system-level techniques to optimize the power-performance trade-off in subthreshold circuits and presents a uniform platform for implementing ultr...
— This article explores the effect of using source follower buffers (SFB) at the output of source coupled logic (SCL) circuits. This technique can help to improve the power-delay...
