Considering the voltage drop constraint over a distributed model for power/ground (P/G) network, we study the following two problems for physical synthesis of sleep transistors: t...
Power gating is one of the most effective techniques in reducing the standby leakage current of VLSI circuits. In this paper we introduce a new approach for sleep transistor sizin...
Leakage power has grown significantly and is a major challenge in SoC design. Among SoC's components, clock distribution network power accounts for a large portion of chip po...
