1Bounds on FSM Switching Activity

by Eleftheria Athanasopoulou, Christoforos N. Hadjicostis
"... This paper obtains lower and upper bounds for the switching activity on the state lines of a finite state machine (FSM) that is driven with typical input sequences. More specifically, the paper bounds the average Hamming distance which is in turn proportional to the switching activity and the overal ..."

Switching activity minimization in combinational logic design

by R. V. Menon, S. Chennupati, N. K. Samala, D. Radhakrishnan, B. Izadi - Proc. of 2004 International Conf. on Embedded Systems and Applications, 2004
"... Abstract: In this paper we focus on the reduction of switching activity in combinational logic circuits. An algorithmic approach using k-map has been proposed which modifies the normal optimal solution obtained from k-map to reduce its switching activity. More than 10 % reduction in switching activi ..."
