Answer / garima
1.Dynamic Frequency scaling: use of programmable dividers.
2. Good RTL coding techinques,
1.using clock gating cells during RTL phasing with
intelligent gating enabling logic.
2. using gray coding.
Do not depen entirely on sythesis inserted clock gating
3. Dynamic Voltage scaling.
4. Low power modes: application based most of the cores ex
ARM supports various modes.
5. Power Gating : SRPG.

Answer / panchamukhi.ellur
Various techniques are available to minimize the power
consumption such as
1)Multiple vdd technique ,depnding on application and power
required for that particular module use specific power
supply(vdd).
2)Using multiple thickness of THINOXIDE
3)To avoid short ckt current stack tecniques

Give a big picture of the entire SRAM Layout showing your placements of SRAM Cells, Row Decoders, Column Decoders, Read Circuit, Write Circuit and Buffers
Calculate rise delay of a 3-input NAND gate driving a 3-input NOR gate through a 6mm long and 0.45m wide metal wire with sheet resistance R = 0.065 / and Cpermicron= 0.25 fF/m. The resistance and capacitance of the unit NMOS are 6.5k and 2.5fF. Use a 3 segment -model for the wire. Consider PMOS and NMOS size of reference inverter as 2 and 1 respectively. Use appropriate sizing for the NAND and NOR gate.
