A fast FPGA (FFPGA) using active interconnect

Field programmable gate array (FPGA) consumes a significant amount of static and dynamic power due to the presence of additional logic for providing more flexibility as compared to application specific integrated circuits (ASICs). The fabrication cost ...

Fabrication cost of ASICs is increases rapidly for deep submicron technology. It is important to explore the different techniques to reduce the FPGA power consumption so that in future they can also be deploy in place of ASICs in portable energy ...

Power is an increasingly important design constraint for FPGAs in nanometer technologies. Because interconnect power is dominant in FPGAs, we design Vdd-programmable interconnect fabric to reduce FPGA interconnect power. There are three Vdd states for ...
