Abstract
A circuit design system that obtains low power circuit design through judicious module selection. The circuit design system implements methods that enable advantageous design tradeoffs between low power behavior and a set of design constraints during module selection. The circuit design system selects unsigned modules which consume less power than signed modules where permitted in view of a desired response of a circuit and where advantageous for low power behavior while not violating the design constraints.
