ABSTRACT:
Low-power routing multiplexers that reduce static and dynamic power consumption are provided. A variety of different techniques are used to reduce power consumption of the routing multiplexers without significantly increasing their size. For example, power consumption of the routing multiplexers may be reduced by reducing short-circuit currents, reducing leakage currents, limiting voltage swing, and recycling charge within the multiplexer. Multiple power reduction techniques may be combined into a single routing multiplexer design. Low-power routing multiplexers may also be designed to operate in selectable modes, such as, a high-speed, high-power mode and a low-speed, low-power mode.
