Abstract

This paper presents a globally asynchronous locally synchronous (GALS) design with an local clock assignment to reduce the power supply noise. With the GALS design, the power supply noise can be spread over different clock frequencies or phases. By incrementally applying the opposite-phase local clock assignment to locally synchronous logics, the simultaneous switching activities can be more distributed in time. The experimental results on a GALS triple-DES crypto processor implemented in a Xilinx Spartan-6 Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) show that the supply noises are attenuated about 16.9 dB and 10.9 dB for the fundamental and the second harmonic, respectively.
