Timed Shannon circuits have been proposed as a synthesis approach for a low power optimization technique at the logic level since overall circuit switching probabilities may be reduced. An improvement in the application of this principle for multi-output circuits is presented. Techniques that trade area for power reduction and a method for minimizing the overall circuit switching probability are also included. Experimental results are given and analyzed for these techniques.
