Routing Track Duplication With Fine-Grained Power-Gating For Fpga Interconnect Power Reduction
ASPDAC05: Asia and South Pacific Design Automation Conference Shanghai China January, 2005(2005)
摘要
Power has become an increasingly important design constraint for FPGAs in nanometer technologies, and global interconnects should be the focus of FPGA power reduction as they consume more power than logic cells. We design area-efficient circuits for programmable fine-grained power-gating of individual unused interconnect switches, and reduce interconnect leakage power dramatically because the interconnect switches have an intrinsically low utilization rate for the purpose of programmability. The low leakage interconnect via power-gating reduces total power by 38.18% for the FPGA in 100nm technology. Furthermore, it enables interconnect dynamic power reduction. We design a routing channel containing abundant or duplicated routing tracks with pre-determined high and low Vdd, and develop routing algorithm using low Vdd for non-critical routing to reduce dynamic power. The track-duplicated routing channel has small leakage power and increase the FPGA power reduction to 45.00%.
