Abstract
We first present a circuit taxonomy along the space and time dimensions, which is useful for classifying generic low-power techniques, followed by an analysis of optimal power supply and threshold voltages and transistor sizing for minimizing the energy-delay product of a class of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) digital circuits.
