Abstract
A dynamically biased current sensor for the current-sensing completion dete ction method, which cuts off the power consumption when the logic blocks do nor operate, is presented. The proposed method is an essential improvement to all completion detection methods that use static biasing in their curre nt sensing circuits, and where the power consumption is an important issue.
