Abstract

Technology scaling will become difficult beyond 0.18 micron. For continued growth in performance, transistor density, and reduced energy per computation, circuit design will have to employ a new set of design techniques, with adequate design automation tools support. This paper discusses a few such techniques that reduce active and leakage power, and deliver higher performance. It concludes by pointing out some of the potential paradigm shifts.
