Answer Posted / Yogendra Pratap Singh
Answer: Minimizing power consumption in CMOS logic can be achieved through several techniques:
1. Power gating: Selectively turning off power supplies to idle circuits.
2. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS): Adjusting the supply voltage or clock frequency based on the circuit's requirements.
3. Leakage current reduction: Optimizing transistor sizing, work function engineering, and using low-leakage materials like high-k dielectrics.
4. Clock gating: Eliminating unnecessary clock cycles in idle portions of a circuit.
5. Using sleep modes or power modes for energy savings during periods of inactivity.
