This book carefully details design tools and techniques for realizing low power and energy efficiency in a highly productive design methodology. Important topics include: - Microarchitectural techniques to reduce energy per operation- Power reduction with timing slack from pipelining- Analysis of the benefits of using multiple supply and threshold voltages- Placement techniques for multiple supply voltages- Verification for multiple voltage domains- Improved algorithms for gate sizing,...
More DescriptionThis book carefully details design tools and techniques for realizing low power and energy efficiency in a highly productive design methodology. Important topics include: - Microarchitectural techniques to reduce energy per operation- Power reduction with timing slack from pipelining- Analysis of the benefits of using multiple supply and threshold voltages- Placement techniques for multiple supply voltages- Verification for multiple voltage domains- Improved algorithms for gate sizing, and assignment of supply and threshold voltages- Power gating design automation to reduce leakage- Relationships among tatistical timing, power analysis, and parametric yield optimization Design examples illustrate that these techniques can improve energy efficiency by two to three times
