Conclusion • Many low-power design techniques have been developed – Most of them can be applied simultaneously – Ad hoc solutions usually work well in practice • A new logic level low-power synthesis is presented – The target is to reduce switching activities – The performance is better than previous methods in terms of • Reduction in switching activities • Area • Critical path delay NCHUCS 33
