As CMOS technology shrink and device densities on a chip increase, power dissipationis rapidly becoming the most important design concern.  This talk will present some early results from our recent work involving device sizing for low power digital design.  The  technique presented will enable quick exploration of different architectures and circuit topologies in order to analyze energy and delay trade-offs for a given functional block in a system.
