Abstract
In this paper, we address the problem of reducing the power dissipated by sequential circuits. We propose a novel approach to power reduction based on transition graph description of sequential circuits. We formulate a general theoretic framework for the solution of the state assignment problem, and we propose different solutions trading off computational effort for quality of the results. A heuristic algorithm has been implemented and been shown to sensibly reduce the switching activity of sequential circuits
