Abstract :
Power is one of the biggest concerns of IC designs today. For consumer electronics the energy consumption of the ICs limits the time between charging the batteries. For high-frequency computers the power density of the ICs limits the performance of the ICs. Clock distribution networks typically contribute more than one third of the total power consumption, including both leakage and dynamic power consumption.
