Metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) are continuously scaling down in the nanoscale region to improve the functionality of integrated circuits. The scaling down of MOSFET devices causes short-channel effects in the nanoscale region. In nanoscale region, leakage current components are increasing, resulting in substantial power dissipation. Very large-scale integration designers are constantly exploring different effective methods of mitigating the power dissipation. In this study, a transistor-level input-controlled stacking (ICS) approach is proposed for minimizing significant power dissipation. A low-power ICS approach is extensively discussed to verify its importance in low-power applications. Circuit reliability is monitored for process and voltage and temperature variations. The ICS approach is designed and simulated using Cadence's tools and compared with existing low-power and high-speed techniques at a 22-nm technology node. The ICS approach decreases power dissipation by 84.95% at a cost of 5.89 times increase in propagation delay, and improves energy dissipation reliability by 82.54% compared with conventional circuit for a ring oscillator comprising 5-inverters.

This paper propose that is algorithm of power dissipation reduction in the high level synthesis design for DSP(Digital Signal Processor), as the portable terminal system recently demand high power dissipation. This paper obtain effect of power dissipation reduction and switching activity that increase correlation of operands as input data of function unit. The algorithm search loop or repeatedly data to the input operands of function unit. That can be reduce the power dissipation using the new low power high level synthesis algorithm. In this Paper, scheduling operation search same nodes from input DFG(Data Flow Graph) with correlation coefficient of first input node and among nodes. Function units consist a multiplier, an adder and a register. The power estimation method is added switching activity for each bits of nodes. The power estimation have good efficient using proposed algorithm. This paper result obtain more Power reduction of fifty percents after using a new low power algorithm in a function unit as multiplier.

This paper proposes a new TTL-to-CMOS converter which has low power dissipation. This converter has no static power dissipation for typical TTL output voltage levels. The simulatio result shows that the power dissipation is reduced to about 1/20 of conventional level converter using CMOS inverters. It also has hysteresis due to the positive feedback which makes the converter noise immune. The logic threshold voltages in the hysteresis characteristic can be optimized by changing the size ratios of the transistors.

Recent test data compression techniques raise concerns regarding power dissipation and compression efficiency. This letter proposes a new test data compression scheme, twin symbol encoding, that supports block division skills that can reduce hardware overhead. Our experimental results show that the proposed technique achieves both a high compression ratio and low-power dissipation. Therefore, the proposed scheme is an attractive solution for efficient test data compression.

As time goes by these cables make a insulation problems, and ask for a preventive diagnosis method. Cable has very high electrostatic capacity and insulation defects mainly caused by water-tree(WT). Dissipation factor test is very useful for detecting WT but it needs huge power supply. In this paper we presented a cable insulation diagnosis by dissipation factor using low frequency power supply.

In this paper, we propose the bus coding technique for low power consumption. For CMOS circuit most power is dissipated as dynamic power for charging and discharging node capacitances.Though the I/O and bus are likely to have the very large capacitances associated with them and dissipate much of the power dissipated by an IC, they have little beenthe special target for power reduction. The conventional Bus-Invert coding method can't decrease the peak power dissipation by 50% because the additional invert signal line can invoke a transition at the time when Bus-Invert coding isn't used to code original bus data. The proposed technique always constraints the Hamming distance between data transferred sequentially to be below the half of the bus width, and thus decrease the I/O peak power dissipation and the I/O average power dissipation.

The increasing size of very large scale integration (VLSI) circuits, high transistor density, and popularity of low-power circuit and system design are making the minimization of power dissipation an important issue in VLSI design. Test Power dissipation is exceedingly high in scan based environments wherein scan chain transitions during the shift of test data further reflect into significant levels of circuit switching unnecessarily. Scan chain or cell modification lead to reduced dissipations of power. The ETC algorithm of previous work has weak points. Taking all of this into account, we therefore propose a new algorithm. Its name is RE_ETC. The proposed modifications in the scan chain consist of Exclusive-OR gate insertion and scan cell reordering, leading to significant power reductions with absolutely no area or performance penalty whatsoever. Experimental results confirm the considerable reductions in scan chain transitions. We show that modified scan cell has the improvement of test efficiency and power dissipations.

본 논문에서는 저전력 기술인 DVFS (Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling) 응용을 위하여, 동작주파수의 변화에도 소비전력이 일정한 특성을 갖는 전류모드 회로를 적용함에 있어서, 저속 동작에서 소비전력이 과다한 전류모드 회로의 문제점을 전류모드 회로에서 sub-threshold 영역 동작의 MOSFET을 적용함으로써 소비전력을 최소화하는 설계기술을 소개한다. 회로설계는 MOSFET BSIM 3모델을 사용하였으며, 시뮬레이션한 결과, strong-inversion 동작일 때 소비전력은 $900{\mu}W$이었으나, sub-threshold 영역으로 동작하였을 때, 소비전력이 $18.98{\mu}W$가 되어, 98 %의 소비전력의 절감효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

A power amplifier operating at 3.3 V has been developed for CDMA/AMPS dual-mode cellular phones. It consists of linear GaAs power MESFET's, a new gate bias control circuit, and an output matching circuit which prevents the drain terminal of the second MESF from generating the harmonics. The relationship between the intermodulation distortion and the spectral regrowth of the power amplifier has been investigated with gate bias by using the two-tone test method and the adjacent channel leakage power ratio (ACPR) method of CDMA signals. The dissipation power of the power amplifier with a gate bias control circuit is minimized to below 1000 mW in the range of the low power levels while satisfying the ACPR of less than -26 dBc for CDMA mode. The ACPR of the power amplifier is measured to be -33 dBc at a high output power of 26 dBm.
