Pass Transistor Logic • Most logic synthesis systems are based on logic gates – Processed through Boolean equations – Implemented with NAND/NOR gates • Pass transistor logic can implement certain complex Boolean function efficiently • In some cases, the power consumption may be reduced NCHUCS 12

Switching Activity Reduction • Basic idea – Circuit output may be solely decided by part of the circuit function – Thus the remaining part of the circuit can be “turned off” dynamically • Implementation – Extract part of the circuit so it can be computed first • This part of the circuit is usually small – “Freeze” registers that are not useful if the output is decided NCHUCS 13
