POWER REDUCTION TECHNIQUES IN VLSI

Abstract

The paper investigates different level of techniques used for power reduction in VLSI. Before,most of the researches were oriented towards bringing about high speed and miniaturization.At present, because of the increasing trend of compact devices, the requirement for low powerconsuming circuits have also increased. This necessitates the need to align the research forreducing power dissipation in VLSI circuits. In the given paper we will briefly discuss aboutthe different types of power reduction techniques at design abstraction level which are adoptedin industries now-a-days. The comparison of traditional techniques and present techniquesare also covered in this paper.
