Abstract: The growing demand in the multimedia rich applications are motivating the low-power and high-speed circuit designer to work more closely towards the design issues arising from the design trade-offs in power and speed. This paper targets the modeling and simulation of leakage currents and its minimization approach by Dual Vt approach. We consider the optimal selection of Vth under a statistical model of threshold variation. Probabilistic analytical models are introduced to account for the impact of Vth uncertainty on leakage power and timing slack. Using this model, we show that the non-probabilistic analysis significantly underestimates the leakage power.
