Leakage Power. The power consumed by the sub threshold currents and by reverse biased diodes in a CMOS transistor is considered as leakage power. The leakage power of a CMOS logic gate does not depend on input transition or load capacitance and hence it remains constant for a logic cell.
Method for tuning a digital design for synthesized random logic circuit macros in a continuous design space with optional insertion of multiple threshold voltage devices
InactiveUS7093208B2Efficient and effective methodologyError minimizationDigital storageComputer aided designContinuous designCritical section
A Digital Design Method which may be automated is for obtaining timing closure in the design of large, complex, high-performance digital integrated circuits. The methodincludes the use of a tuner on random logic macros that adjusts transistor sizes in a continuous domain. To accommodate this tuning, logic gates are mapped to parameterized cells for the tuning and then back to fixed gates after the tuning. Tuning is constrained in such a way as to minimize “binning errors” when the design is mapped back to fixed cells. Further, the critical sections of the circuit are marked in order to make the optimization more effective and to fit within the problem-size constraints of the tuner. A specially formulated objective function is employed during the tuning to promote faster global timing convergence, despite possibly incorrect initial timing budgets. The specially formulated objective function targets all paths that are failing timing, with appropriate weighting, rather than just targeting the most critical path. Finally, the addition of multiple threshold voltage gates allows for increased performance while limiting leakage power.

Method for determining the leakage power for an integrated circuit
InactiveUS6842714B1Electric devicesCurrent/voltage measurementElectrical resistance and conductanceElectric distribution network
A method for determining full chip leakage power first estimates leakage power and dynamic power for each circuit macro. The power supply voltage to each macro is first assumed to be nominal. The power dissipation for each macro is modeled as a current source whose value is the estimated power divided by the nominal power supply voltage. The power distribution network is modeled as a resistive grids. The thermal environment of the IC and its electronic package are modeled as multi dimensional grids of thermal elements. Algebraic multi-grid (AMG) methods are used to calculate updated circuit macro voltages and temperatures. The macro voltages and temperatures are updated and updated leakage and dynamic power dissipation are calculated. Iterations are continued until leakage power converges to a final value.

InactiveUS7920409B1Improve stabilityReduce leakageDigital storageStatic random-access memoryControl signal
A Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cell having high stability and low leakage is provided. The SRAM cell includes a pair of cross-coupled inverters providing differential storage of a data bit. Power to the SRAM cell is provided by a read word line (RWL) signal, which is also referred to herein as a read control signal. During read operations, the RWL signal is pulled to a voltage level that forces the SRAM cell to a full-voltage state. During standby, the RWL signal is pulled to a voltage level that forces the SRAM cell to a voltage collapsed state in order to reduce leakage current, or leakage power, of the SRAM cell. A read-transistor providing access to the bit stored by the SRAM cell is coupled to the SRAM cell via a gate of the read transistor, thereby decoupling the stability of the SRAM cell from the read operation.

Method for determining and using leakage current sensitivities to optimize the design of an integrated circuit
InactiveUS7137080B2Semiconductor/solid-state device manufacturingCAD circuit designTime criticalEngineering
An integrated circuit design has circuit macros made up of device cells. The cells are characterized by determining the leakage current dependency on various process, environmental and voltage parameters. When circuit macros are designed their leakage power is calculated using this data and multi-dimensional models for power and temperature distribution. Circuit macros are identified as timing-critical and timing-noncritical macros. Statistical methods are used to determine the average leakage sensitivities for the specific circuit macros designed. The designer uses the sensitivity data to determine how to redesign selected circuit macros to reduce leakage power. Reducing leakage power in these selected circuits may be used to reduce overall IC power or the improved power margins may be used in timing-critical circuits to increase performance while keeping power dissipation unchanged.
