With so much buzz around low power wearable electronics, designers are looking to save every last nanowatt of power in their design. Clock gating, which arguably is the most efficient and most simple ...

Clock gating is the most commonly employed design technique to save dynamic power, and one can find a plethora of technical literature on it and associated techniques. However, many implementations ...

With shrinking technologies, rapid multiplication of clock frequencies, and increasing emphasis on power reduction, low-power design is taking on a vital role. Design teams can no longer afford to ...

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 ...

Intelligent clock gating is key to Xilinx’s bid to reduce dynamic block-RAM (BRAM) power consumption in its Virtex-6 FPGA designs. The key to this fourth generation partial reconfiguration design flow ...

This paper discusses about the intelligent low power techniques such as context based clock gating and how they are useful for IoT applications. It also describes how it improves the overall power ...

A common challenge facing many semiconductor companies is the push for higher data transmission speeds to drive ever higher system performance. When dealing with clock circuitry in processor and bus ...

Engineers have come up with a long list of ways to save power in chip and system designs, but there are few rules to determine which approaches work best for any given design. There is widespread ...

Well, summer has been and gone; and for most of us it was a time to relax and reflect on our working practices. What can we do to achieve better results? And what can we do to break out of the routine ...

Multisource CTS represents a new clock-distribution technology that fills the methodology gap between conventional CTS and pure clock mesh. Whereas pure clock mesh delivers the best possible clock ...
