Technique for Transition Energy-Aware Dynamic Voltage Assignment

IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II: Express Briefs, 2006
It is generally accepted that dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is one of the most effective techniques in saving energy consumption. This work addresses an important DVS problem, which is the transition energy-aware voltage assignment (TE-VA) problem. Given a schedule of tasks, the TE-VA problem is to determine the voltages to be applied to the tasks, so ...

Variation-Aware Supply Voltage Assignment for Simultaneous Power and Aging Optimization

IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems, 2012
As technology scales, negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) has become a major reliability concern for circuit designers. And the growing process variations can no longer be ignored. Meanwhile, reducing power consumption remains to be one of the design goals.

Design of variable structure voltage regulator using pole assignment technique

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 1994
In a power system, the role of a generator voltage regulator is to ensure that the output voltage is maintained within an acceptable threshold. In this paper a voltage regulator is proposed. The design of this regulator is based on both variable structure control theory and a pole assignment technique. The performance of the proposed regulator has been

Power-Planning-Aware Soft Error Hardening via Selective Voltage Assignment

IEEE Transactions on Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Systems, 2014
Soft errors, which have been a significant concern in memories, are now a main factor in reliability degradation of logic circuits. This paper presents a power-planning-aware methodology using dual supply voltages for soft error hardening. Given a constraint on power overhead, our proposed framework can minimize the soft error rate (SER) of a circuit ...

Multi-voltage floorplan design with optimal voltage assignment

Proceedings of the 2009 international symposium on Physical design, 2009
In this paper, we study the multiple voltage assignment (MVA) problem under timing constraints in floorplanning, which is generally an NP-hard problem. We will present an effective value-oriented branch-and-bound based algorithm to solve it optimally in a reasonable amount of time.

Timing-constrained and voltage-island-aware voltage assignment

2006 43rd ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference, 2006
Multi-Vdd is an effective method to reduce both leakage and dynamic power. A key challenge in a multi-Vdd design is to limit the design cost and the demand for level shifters. This can be tackled by grouping cells of different supply voltages into a small number of voltage islands.

Incremental Improvement of Voltage Assignment

IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems, 2009
Design for low power has become a key requirement in today's System-on-a-Chip design, particularly for mobile applications. Multi-Vdd (MSV) is an effective method to reduce both leakage and dynamic powers. In a MSV design, cells of different supply voltages are often grouped into a small number of voltage islands, in order to avoid complex power-supply

Multiple voltage assignment based on PSO

Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Computer Science and Network Technology, 2011
today the power optimization has become a crucial concern in modern IC design. Multiple supply voltage (MSV) is efficient way to achieve low power. Most of the researches are carried out in the simulated annealing scheme. In this paper, a novel particle swarm optimization approach was proposed for multiple voltage islands generations at the post ...
