Abstract :
A dynamically biased current sensor for the current-sensing completion detection method, which cuts off the power consumption when the logic blocks do not operate is presented. The proposed method is an essential improvement to all completion detection methods that use static biasing in their current sensing circuits, and where the power consumption is an important issue
