Abstract(in English) This paper presents a low-power FPGA with multiple supply voltages. In the proposed FPGA, the supply voltage of each logic block is self-adaptive to the workload, data path and temperature to minimize the power consumption without system performance degradation. In the self-adaptive voltage control scheme, features of the asynchronous architecture are exploited. The data arrival in the asynchronous architecture can be easily detected by detecting the change of the data's phase. By exploiting this feature, the critical path can be detected in real time. Logic blocks on the non-critical path are autonomously switched to a lower supply voltage to reduce the power consumption.
