Journal ArticleDOI
Design Techniques and Architectures for Low-Leakage SRAMs
TL;DR: This paper presents an overview of the techniques proposed both in the academic and in the industrial domain for minimizing leakage power, and in particular, the subthreshold component, in SRAMs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design Techniques for NBTI-Tolerant Power-Gating Architectures
TL;DR: This brief proposes a set of efficient NBTI-aware circuit design solutions that aim at improving the lifetime stability of power-gated circuits by means of oversizing, body biasing, and stress-probability reduction while minimizing the design overheads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of a Flexible Reactivation Cell for Safe Power-Mode Transition in Power-Gated Circuits
TL;DR: This work proposes a new reactivation solution that helps in controlling power supply fluctuations and achieving minimum reactivation times, and introduces a distributed physical implementation, which allows minimum layout disruption after ST insertion and minimizes routing congestion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Row-Based Power-Gating: A Novel Sleep Transistor Insertion Methodology for Leakage Power Optimization in Nanometer CMOS Circuits
TL;DR: A novel, layout-aware methodology is proposed that facilitates sleep transistor insertion and virtual-ground routing on row-based layouts and introduces a clustering algorithm that is able to handle simultaneously timing and area constraints.
