With so much buzz around low power wearable electronics, designers are looking to save every last nanowatt of power in their design. Clock gating, which arguably is the most efficient and most simple ...

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 ...

Recently, many methodologies have been introduced for reducing dynamic power for systems-on-chip (SoCs). These methodologies, however, impose restrictive physical constraints which have schedule ...

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 ...

Using pulsed latches instead of flip-flops is a solution that has been thoroughly studied for its advantages in speed, density, and power consumption reduction [1] [2]. Even so, this solution has not ...
