KERNEL BASED PRECOMPUTATION SCHEME FOR THE DESIGN OF LOW-POWER COMBINATIONAL-CIRCUITS

The authors present a synthesis algorithm for designing low power comi binational circuits by eliminating unnecessary signal transitions. Tra nsforming a given circuit by selecting a kernel as a precomputation lo gic, the proposed algorithm reduces power dissipation by disabling a p ortion of the circuits. Experimental results show that the algorithm i s efficient for designing low power combinational circuits.
