Ramp Up/Down Functional Unit to Reduce Step Power
Because the inductive noise Ldi/dt is induced by the power change and can have disastrous impact on the timing and reliability of the system, high-performance CPU designs are more ...

Transition reduction in carry-save adder trees
-- By taking advantage of the redundancy in a 4-2 compressor, we reduce the number of transitions in carry-save adder trees that are common in large multipliers. Three new 4-2 comp...

Desensitization for Power Reduction in Sequential Circuits
In this paper, we describe a technique for power reduction in sequential circuits. Existing signals in the circuit are used to selectively disable some of the registers so that a ...

FSMD Functional Partitioning for Low Power
Previous work has shown that sizable power reductions can be achieved by shutting down a system's sub-circuits when they are not needed. However, these shutdown techniques fo...
