Abstract :
The authors present a synthesis algorithm for designing low power combinational circuits by eliminating unnecessary signal transitions. Transforming a given circuit by selecting a kernel as a precomputation logic, the proposed algorithm reduces power dissipation by disabling a portion of the circuits. Experimental results show that the algorithm is efficient for designing low power combinational circuits
