Power efficient solution is essential for the portable electronic system. This paper presents an FPFA based embedded system for low power message display. Scanning technique is used to minimize the power. Experiment is conducted on 30 seven segments where an FPGA based intelligent controller scans all the display elements continuously at a certain speed to ensure only one display unit is on and other...
Low power techniques in a FPGA implementation of the hash function called Luffa are presented in this paper. This hash function is under consideration for adoption as standard. Two major gate level techniques are introduced in order to reduce the power consumption, namely the pipeline technique (with some variants) and the use of embedded RAM blocks instead of general purpose logic elements. Power...
Power optimization has become one of the most challenging design objectives of modern digital systems. Although FPGAs are more and more used, they are however still considered as power inefficient compared to standard-cell or full-custom technologies. New dedicated design approaches are thus needed to reduce this gap. In this paper, we address low-power design on FPGA through a dedicated High-Level...
The paper describes application of the clock-gating techniques, often used in ASIC designs, to the field of FPGA-based systems. The clock-gating techniques are used to reduce the total power of the system. To achieve this, we reduce clock power consumption of the system by switching-off the clock signal for the parts of system that are not used. The system presented in this paper is based on the main...
This paper proposes a methodology for characterising power consumption of the fine-grain fabric in reconfigurable architectures. It covers active and inactive power as well as advanced low-power modes. A method based on random number generators is adopted for comparing activity modes. We illustrate our approach using four field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) that span a range of process technologies:...
Reducing the logic levels in digital hardware designs can dramatically reduce power consumption of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). In this study, logic levels were varied by applying different degrees of pipelining to five types of circuits: a parity circuit, two multipliers, an adder-based design, a sine-cosine generator, and an encryption circuit. Power was measured to the core logic of...
Trends of high power usage in portable consumer electronics and high speed designs is an important factor that biases the selection of an ASIC over a FPGA. ASICs are optimized to minimize the amount of logics used for a particular application; reductions in power are noticed when compared against FPGAs design for the same application. On the other hand, some FPGAs equipped with run-time reconfiguration,...
