Consequentially, static power consumption is reduced. The circuit is integrated into a 256-bit Ripple Carry Adder and a 32-bit Braun multiplier.

The delay generator is designed in 90 nm CMOS technology and consumes 330 muW power from a 1.2 V power supply, at a typical case of using 10 muA control current and 30 fF load capacitance. The process corner simulation results exhibit a typical delay of 2.09 ns with a corner variation of -7.1% / +7.6%.

A sub-1 V, low temperature-coefficient voltage reference using self-biased mutual compensation is proposed without large resistors to save the chip area. In addition, an energy-aware irregular clock structure, together with clock gating, achieves low power consumption in the baseband processor.
