Title
A leakage estimation and reduction technique for scaled CMOS logic circuits considering gate-leakage
Abstract
Leakage power reduction is extremely important in the design of scaled CMOS logic circuits. The dominant leakage mechanism of such circuits is the gate leakage. This paper first describes a fast leakage estimation technique based on biasing states for both gate leakage and sub-threshold leakage. Next, it describes a leakage reduction method based on the selective insertion of control points. Simulations on a set of examples show that this method results in the average leakage being 28.7% of the leakage of the baseline circuit whose inputs have already been subjected to the minimum leakage vector (MLV).
