  • Abstract
    This paper shows that the switching activity of the sign-extended bits in a two´s complement number in a DSP system can be reduced by the application of a bias to the system´s input. The technique is easy to implement and requires only one to two additional adders. Experimental results show a 20% and 5% reduction in bit-switching activities for a typical voice grade signal and an FIR filter processing the signal, respectively
