Predict the power consumption of a digital design (like a processor block or a datapath) using high-level RTL features. 📌 Why Important in VLSI: Early prediction of power helps reduce simulation time ...

Power reduction is one of the biggest challenges in CMOS integrated circuit design. Optimization of power is inevitable in order to reduce package cost and extended battery life. As a switch tri-modal ...

Abstract: Power dissipation poses a great challenge for VLSI designers. With the intense down-scaling of technology, the total power consumption of the chip is made up primarily of leakage power ...

“With the improvement of VLSI technology, on-chip power grid design is becoming more challenging than before. In this design phase of VLSI CAD, power grids are generated in order to make power and ...

Abstract: Recent research has proposed several low-power design techniques for VLSI circuitry in nano-scale CMOS era. However, these techniques always involve custom layout design or novel EDA flows.

Gate sizing is a fundamental technique in VLSI design, where the dimensions of transistors and gates are carefully adjusted to achieve optimal performance, minimise power consumption and reduce delay.
