Abstract: Power gating is often used to reduce dynamic power consumption in microelectronics systems. There exist several methodologies for the implementation of power gating with varying effect on ...

Abstract: The design of a suitable power gating (e.g., multithreshold or super cutoff CMOS) structure is an important and challenging task in sub-90-nm very large scale integration (VLSI) circuits ...

This is usually accomplished by either gating the clocks to the circuit or gating the power. In these applications, leakage can be the dominant factor in power consumption since the device is actively ...
