Give the various techniques you know to minimize power
consumption?
Answer Posted / garima
1.Dynamic Frequency scaling: use of programmable dividers.
2. Good RTL coding techinques,
1.using clock gating cells during RTL phasing with
intelligent gating enabling logic.
2. using gray coding.
Do not depen entirely on sythesis inserted clock gating
3. Dynamic Voltage scaling.
4. Low power modes: application based most of the cores ex
ARM supports various modes.
5. Power Gating : SRPG.

Calculate rise delay of a 3-input NAND gate driving a 3-input NOR gate through a 6mm long and 0.45m wide metal wire with sheet resistance R = 0.065 / and Cpermicron= 0.25 fF/m. The resistance and capacitance of the unit NMOS are 6.5k and 2.5fF. Use a 3 segment -model for the wire. Consider PMOS and NMOS size of reference inverter as 2 and 1 respectively. Use appropriate sizing for the NAND and NOR gate.
