It has been founded on the observation that different binding results will significantly affect the total number of switching activities (SW) of functional units, and further will affect the power dissipation. Also, the run-time for binding is considerable. Unlike many other previously proposed methods, our approach considers not only the minimizing of switching activities, but also the reducing of run-times for binding. Experimental results on benchmarks indicate that our designs are 11%-32% more power-efficient than the results produced by random binding. Furthermore, in terms of run-times as well as the switching activities, our approach makes an improvement on the circuit performance by 8.4% over the already existing power-optimized binding technique based on multistage graph methodology","PeriodicalId":431034,"journal":{"name":"2005 6th International Conference on ASIC","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127921307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this scheme the common substrate of the NMOS logic or PMOS logic is dynamically controlled: the potential changes only when these transistors need to work and keeps high threshold when they are shut down. And the scheme uses the charge recovery technique of the substrate, to further reduce power. It is capable of operating at 0.8V or even lower.
