Using state assignment to minimize power dissipation and area for finite state ma-chines is computationally hard. Most of published results show that the reduction of switchingactivity often trades with area penalty. ...Using state assignment to minimize power dissipation and area for finite state ma-chines is computationally hard. Most of published results show that the reduction of switchingactivity often trades with area penalty. In this paper, a new approach is proposed.

The frequency shift keying （FSK） receiver consumes less than 1.5 mW power with 1 V supply. It is able to achieve a maximum data rate of 400 kb/s. This paper presents the research work carried out on designing a fully-integrated sub-threshold receiver fabricated on a 65 nm complimentary metal oxide semiconductor （CMOS） chip. In order to achieve super low power consumption, more than 90% of the transistors in all analog building blocks are operated in sub-threshold region. System level issues, such as required receiver architecture and specifications are also addressed.展开更多
