Abstract The continuous increase in chip integration and the associated energy consumption concerns made low power/energy design one of the main challenges facing VLSI systems. A low energy clock-gated pipelined dual base binary/decimal fixed-point multiplier is suggested extending a previously proposed non-pipelined design. A thorough study conducted on both the pipelined and non-pipelined designs versus other architectures in literature proves tremendous reductions in power, energy and area consumption.In addition, a new low energy lossless compression/decompression approach is suggested for main memory data. The proposed design lowers energy consumption due to its simplicity and low latency |
