Abstract :
A method of changing a data representation to reduce the switching activity from datapath elements is described. The proposed method finds a low-power data representation so that more frequently consecutive data values have a smaller Hamming distance between their binary codes. The experimental results show that a switching activity reduction of up to 22.6% over a standard data representation scheme can be achieved.
