In this paper, we investigate a low-power architecture for designs modeled as an Extended Finite State Machine (EFSM). It is based on the general dynamic power management concept[2], in which the redundant computation can be dynamically disabled to reduce the overall power dissipation. The contribution of this paper is mainly a systematic procedure to identify almost maximal amount of redundant computation in a design given as an EFSM. There are two levels of redundant computation to be exploited-one is based on the machine state information, while the other is based on the transition information. After the extraction of the redundant computation, a low-power architecture using input gating [10] is proposed to synthesize the final circuit. We tested the technique on a design computing a number's modulo inverse. Experimental results show that 31% power reduction can be achieved at the costs of 2% timing penalty and 16% area overhead.
