1 December 1, 2005 ELEC 6970 - Project Presentation 1 Dual-Voltage Supply for Power Reduction ELEC 6970 – Low Power Design Project Presentation by Muthubalaji Ramkumar

2 December 1, 2005ELEC 6970 - Project Presentation2 Problem Statement To Use a dual-supply voltage in order to reduce the power consumption of the 32 x 32 bit integer array multiplier circuit without compromising the overall delay To Use a dual-supply voltage in order to reduce the power consumption of the 32 x 32 bit integer array multiplier circuit without compromising the overall delay

3 December 1, 2005ELEC 6970 - Project Presentation3 Power and Delay Power → Power → V DD 2 Delay → Delay → KV DD ─────── (V DD – V t ) α

4 December 1, 2005ELEC 6970 - Project Presentation4 Approach  Low Voltage Assignment to as many cells as possible  The interconnections in this multiplier circuit makes it difficult  Therefore assign Low Voltage Supply to as many gates as possible

5 December 1, 2005ELEC 6970 - Project Presentation5 Things to watch  Reducing the Voltage Supply will increase the delay of a gate  Therefore assign Low-Voltage Supply only to the gates which do not have any influence on the Critical Path Delay directly or indirectly  Low voltage gate should have adequate voltage swing in order to drive a High Voltage gate its feeding in to.
