Minimizing and Exploiting Leakage in VLSI Design

In addition, asynchronous micropipelining techniques are presented, to substantially reclaim the speed penalty of sub-threshold design. Validates the proposed ABB and NPLA sub-threshold design approach by implementing a BFSK transmitter design in the proposed design style. Test results from the fabr...
