Power Gating & Power Switches in VLSI
🔸 Why Power Gating Matters As technology scales into deep submicron nodes, power is no longer dominated only by switching activity. 👉 Leakage power has become a critical challenge In modern designs: Leakage increases exponentially with lower threshold voltages Even when blocks are idle, they continue to consume power As discussed in low-power methodologies, leakage in advanced nodes can…
