  • Abstract
    Tuning a circuit by adjusting individual transistor sizes offers higher performance and lower power, for circuits with up to hundreds of thousands of transistors, than the best that can be achieved with standard cells: Typically, at the same clock rate, power can be cut in half. At the same power, clock rate can be increased 25%
