Abstract

In this paper, a low-power design of Viterbi decoders at the gate level in the standard cell design environment is proposed. In the standard cell design environment, the behavior of a design is described in a high-level hardware description language, such as VHDL or Verilog. The behavioral design is synthesized to generate a gate level design. The gate-level design is placed and routed to generate a layout of the design. The focus of our research in the low-power design of Viterbi decoders at logic level is reduction of dynamic power dissipation in the standard cell design environment. We considered two methods, clock-gating and toggle-filtering, in our design.
