In this paper, a CLB-based CPLD low-power technology mapping algorithm considered a Trade-off is proposed. To perform low-power technology mapping for CPLDs, a given Boolean network has to be represented in a DAG. The proposed algorithm consists of three steps. In the first step, TD(Transition Density) calculation has to be performed. Total power consumption is obtained by calculating the switching activity of each node in a DAG. In the second step, the feasible clusters are generated by considering the following conditions: the number of inputs and outputs, the number of OR terms for CLB within a CPLD. The common node cluster merging method, the node separation method, and the node duplication method are used to produce the feasible clusters. In the final step, low-power technology mapping based on the CLBs packs the feasible clusters. The proposed algorithm is examined using SIS benchmarks. When the number of OR terms is five, the experiment results show that power consumption is reduced by 30.73% compared with TEMPLA, and by 17.11 % compared with PLA mapping.

In this paper, CPLD low power technology mapping for reuse module design under the time constraint is proposed. Traditional high-level synthesis do not allow reuse of complex, realistic datapath component during the task of scheduling. On the other hand, the proposed algorithm is able to approach a productivity of the design the low power to reuse which given a library of user-defined datapath component and to share of resource sharing on the switching activity in a shared resource. Also, we are obtainable the optimal the scheduling result in experimental results of our using chaining and multi-cycling in the scheduling techniques. Low power circuit make using CPLD technology mapping algorithm for selection reuse module by scheduling.

본 논문은 시간 제약 조건하에서의 모듈 선택 재사용을 이용한 CPLD 저전력 기술 매핑을 제안한다. 일반적인 상위 수준 합성에서의 스케줄링은 실제적인 라이브러리의 복잡한 재사용을 허용하지 않는다. 반면 제안한 알고리즘은 주어진 사용자 정의 모듈을 실제적인 RT 라이브러리 모듈 재사용과 공유된 자원에서의 스위치 활동의 자원 공유하여 스케줄링을 수행한다. 스케줄링은 체이닝과 멀티사이클링을 이용해 다양한 상위 레벨 벤치마크의 환경에서 최적의 스케줄링의 결과를 얻는다. 스케쥴링의 결과 재사용된 자원은 CPLD 저전력 기술 매핑 알고리즘을 이용하여 저전력으로 회로를 구현한다.

In this paper, we proposed a CLB-based CPLD technology mapping algorithm for power minimization under time constraint in combinational circuit. The main idea of our algorithm is to exploit the "cut enumeration and feasible cluster" technique to generate possible mapping solutions for the sub-circuit rooted at each node. In our technology mapping algorithm conducted a low power by calculating TD and EP of each node and decomposing them on the circuit composed of DAG. It also takes the number of input, output, and OR-term into account on condition that mapping can be done up to the base of CLB, and so it generates the feasible clusters to meet the condition of time constraint. Of the feasible clusters, we should first be mapping the one that h3s the least output for technology mapping of power minimization and choose to map the other to meet the condition of time constraint afterwards. To demonstrate the efficiency of our approach, we applied our algorithm to MCNC benchmarks and compared the results with those of the exiting algorithms. The experimental results show that our approach is shown a decrease of 46.79% compared with DDMAP and that of 24.38% for TEMPLA in the power consumption.

Leakage current of CMOS circuits has become a major factor in VLSI design these days. Although many circuit-level techniques have been developed, most of them require significant amount of designers' effort and are not aligned well with traditional VLSI design process. In this paper, we focus on technology mapping, which is one of the steps of logic synthesis when gates are selected from a particular library to implement a circuit. We take a radical approach to push the limit of technology mapping in its capability of suppressing leakage current: we use a probabilistic leakage (together with delay) as a cost function that drives the mapping; we consider pin reordering as one of options in the mapping; we increase the library size by employing gates with larger gate length; we employ a new flipflop that is specifically designed for low-leakage through selective increase of gate length. When all techniques are applied to several benchmark circuits, leakage saving of 46% on average is achieved with 45-nm predictive model, compared to the conventional technology mapping.

본 논문은 상관관계(trade-off)에 의한 CLB구조의 CPLD 저전력 기술 매핑 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안한 저전력 기술 매핑 알고리즘은 주어진 불린 네트워크를 DAG로 구성하여 소모전력 계산을 위한 TD(Transition Density) 계산 단계와 매핑 가능 클러스터 생성, CLB 패킹의 단계로 구성하였다. TD 계산 단계는 DAG를 구성하고 있는 각 노드들에 대한 스위칭 동작을 계산하여 전체 소모 전력을 계산하는 단계이다. 매핑 가능 클러스터 생성 단계는 주어진 CPLD의 CLB에 대한 입출력의 수와 OR 텀수를 고려하여 매핑 가능 클러스터를 생성하는 단계이다. 매핑 가능 클러스터를 생성하기 위하여 공통 노드 클러스터 병합과 노드 분할, 노드 복제의 방법을 이용한다. 제안된 알고리즘을 SIS에서 제공되는 벤치마크에 적용하여 실험한 결과 OR 텀수를 5로 했을 경우 기존의 CPLD 기술 매핑 알고리즘인 TEMPLA에 비해 30.73$\%$의 소모전력이 감소되었으며, PLAmap에 비해 17.11$\%$감소되었다.

In this paper, we consider the problem of CLB based CPLD technology mapping for power minimization in combinational circuit. The problem has been previously proved to be NP-hard, and hence we present an efficient heuristic algorithm for it. The main idea of our algorithm is to exploit the "cut enumeration" and "feasible cluster" technique to generate possible mapping solutions for the sub-circuit rooted at each node. However, for the consideration of both run time and memory space, only a fixed-number of solutions are selected and stored by our algorithm. To facilitate the selection process, a method that correctly calculates the estimated power consumption for each mapped sub-circuit is developed. The experimental results show that our approach is shown a decrease of 30.5% compared with DDMAP and that of 15.63% for TEMPLA in the Power consumption.
