Abstract
This paper presents an analysis on energy dissipation of a digital half band filters operated in the the sub-threshold (sub-VT ) region with throughput constraints. The degradation of speed in the sub-VT domain is counteracted by unfolding the architectures. A filter is implemented in a basic 12-bit and its various unfolded structures. The designs are synthesized in a 65 nm low-leakage high-threshold CMOS technology. A sub-

VT energy model is applied to characterize the designs in the sub-VT domain. The results from application of an energy model shows that the unfolded by 2 architecture is most energy efficient, dissipating 22% less energy compared to it the original filter implementation at energy minimum voltage. Unfolded by 4... (More)

Unfolded by 4 architecture, however, is the best for throughput requirements of 100Ksamples/sec to 1Msamples/s, as it dissipates less energy

than any other implementation in this speed range. (Less)
