Reducing dynamic power consumption, improving battery life, and ultimately reducing the carbon footprint of a device without any compromise on performance is becoming one of the most important ...

One of the challenges for present SoC designers is to ensure that their SoCs consume least power. Since almost all SoCs use a set of IPs, it’s important for the IP providers to give different power ...

Clock gating is one of the most frequently used techniques in RTL to reduce dynamic power consumption without affecting the functionality of the design. One method involves inserting gating conditions ...

Lowering power consumption seems to be on every designer’s mind these days. And yet when asked about applying low-power design techniques, many engineers respond, “Well, we do clock gating … and ...

Static Timing Analysis (STA) not only acts as a connecting link between backend and frontend design activities, but more importantly helps in bridging the gap between simulation and silicon. STA is ...

Recently, many methodologies have been introduced for reducing dynamic power for systems-on-chip (SoCs). These methodologies, however, impose restrictive physical constraints which have schedule ...
