High performance level conversion for dual VDD design.

High performance level conversion for dual VDD design.

Multi-VDD design is an effective way to reduce power consumption, but the need for level conversion imposes delay and energy penalties that limit the potential gains. In this paper, we describe new level converting circuits that provide 10%-61% lower energy consumption at equivalent or better speeds...
