INTEGRATING DYNAMIC POWER MANAGEMENT IN THE DESIGN FLOW

Power dissipation has recently emerged as one of the most critical design constraints. A wide range of techniques has already been proposed for the optimization of logic circuits for low power. Power management methods are among the most effective techniques for power reduction. These methods detect periods of time during which parts of the circuit are not doing useful work and shut them down by either turning off the power supply or the clock signal. In this work
