Energy-Delay Efficiency of MCML Gates
2012
In this paper, the energy-delay tradeoff that can be realized between energy and delay for MCML gates is explored using the energy-efficient curve. Two metric, namely, the energy-delay gain and the delay-energy gain are employed to quantify it. Moreover, a methodology is introduced for the minimization of the energy-delay product. Experiments were performed in 130nm and 45nm technologies.
A delay model valid in all the regions of operation of the MOS transistor for the energy-efficient design of MCML gates
2013
This paper presents a novel delay model for MCML circuits valid in all the regions of operation of the MOS transistor, i.e., weak inversion (sub-threshold), moderate inversion (near-threshold) and strong inversion. The proposed delay model was employed to develop an automated methodology for the energy-efficient design of such circuits. The tradeoff that can be realized between energy and delay was investigated. Experiments were performed using different technologies to understand the impact of technology scaling on that tradeoff too. Major results of this study are as follows. In a circuit designed for minimum energy consumption, the minimum energy point occurs in the near-threshold region…
