Switching Activity Reduction<br />

• Basic idea<br />

– Circuit output may be solely decided by part of the<br />

circuit function<br />

– Thus the remaining part of the circuit can be “turned off”<br />

dynamically<br />

• Implementation<br />

– Extract part of the circuit so it can be computed first<br />

• This part of the circuit is usually small<br />

– “Freeze” registers that are not useful if the output is<br />

decided<br />
