Simplifying Clock Gating Logic by Matching Factored Forms: Abstract

The document proposes a new technique called factored form matching to simplify clock gating logic. It works by matching the factored forms of gating functions with the factored forms of existing logic nodes in the circuit. This allows existing logic to be used for gating functions to minimize additional gates. Strong matching identifies explicit matches between factored forms, while weak matching finds implicit logic matches. The technique reduces area overhead compared to existing approaches.

SIMPLIFYING CLOCK GATING LOGIC BY MATCHING

FACTORED FORMS
ABSTRACT:
Gate-level clock gating starts with a net list, with partial or no gating applied; some flipflops are then selected for further gating to reduce the circuits power consumption, and a gating
logic of the smallest possible size must then be synthesized. We show how to do this by factored
form matching, in which gating functions in factored forms are matched, as far as possible, with
factored forms of the Boolean functions of existing combinational nodes in the circuit; additional
gates are then introduced, but only for the portion of gating functions that are not matched.
Strong matching identifies matches that are explicitly present in the factored forms, and weak
matching seeks matches that are implicit in the logic and thus are more difficult to discover.
Factored form matching reduces gating logic.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
Another potential approach is to synthesize gating functions automatically from a gatelevel net list, which is often called as gate-level clock gating. The key to this approach is to
minimize the number of additional gates introduced to implement the gating functions, because
these extra gates can represent a substantial overhead. Shows the proportion of circuit area
occupied by gating functions for some test circuits, which demonstrates the area overhead of
large. A few techniques are suggested to simplify gating functions.
DRAWBACKS:

Test circuit is more Complexity.


Its occupied more Area.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:

We propose a new technique to simplify gating functions. The idea is to use the existing
logic as far as possible while the gating functions are synthesized. This is achieved by matching
factored forms of the gating functions with those of existing logic nodes, thus we call this
technique as factored form matching.
