In current SOC designing, clock gating is one of the most effective and primitive power-saving techniques utilized to save dynamic functional power throughout the chip. In designs, clock gating is ...

Santa Cruz, Calif. — Designers frequently use clock gating to reduce IC power consumption, but it's hard to verify those changes in RTL code. A sequential equivalence checker from Calypto Design ...

With the proliferation of mobile devices, power consumption and battery life have emerged as significant concerns during chip design. There are many different techniques used for power optimization, ...

This paper presents a low power Clock Gating scheme for clock power improvement that reduces power dissipation by deactivating the clock signal to an inactive value (for clock gating cell) when clock ...

Lowering power consumption seems to be on every designer’s mind these days. And yet when asked about applying low-power design techniques, many engineers respond, “Well, we do clock gating … and ...

Flexibility is key to FPGA success, but speed is equally important. Achronix almost triples the throughput of the system by taking clock gating to the extreme. The Achronix Speedster FPGAs use a ...

AMBA 4 AXI4 IP Support and Innovations in Design Preservation Combined with ISE Power Optimization to Deliver New Levels of Productivity for Virtex-6 and Spartan-6 FPGAs SAN JOSE, Calif., May 3, 2010- ...

Static Timing Analysis (STA) not only acts as a connecting link between backend and frontend design activities, but more importantly helps in bridging the gap between simulation and silicon. STA is ...

Lack of coordination between asynchronous resets and synchronous logic clocks leads to intermittent failures on power up. In this series of articles, we discuss the requirements and challenges of ...

There are four key differences between conventional CTS, multisource CTS, and clock mesh: shared path, mesh fabric, design complexity, and timing analysis. Each subsequent section discusses each of ...
