Abstract

The increased leakage power of deep-nano technologies in the one hand, and exponential growth in the number of transistors in a given die particularly in Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have resulted in an intensified rate of static power dissipation as well as power density. This ever-increasing static power consumption acts as a power wall to further integration of transistors and has caused the breakdown of Dennard scaling. To meet the available power budget and preclude reliability challenges ...
