Abstract

In this study we created a new routing fabric for reducing power and delay. The power consumed in a FPGA core consists of both static and dynamic components. Static power contributes only 10% of the total power consumed in a FPGA. On the other hand, dynamic power contributes over 90% of the total power consumed and it is the main source for their power inefficiency. By reducing net length and/or programming overhead the power consumption reduced. Routed net length reduced by using short intersects segments in the routing channels. By decreasing the switch box and/or connection box flexibilities programming overhead reduced. In this study ,we concentrated on achieving 1.80 times lower consumption of dynamic power and 1.50 times less significant average net delays by re-architecting the programmable routing fabrics such that both routed net lengths and programming overhead reduced without adversely affecting delay.
