Power dissipation is unevenly distributed in modern microprocessors leading to localized hot spots with significantly greater die temperature than surrounding cooler regions. Exc...
In this paper, we observe that minimum energy Emin of subthreshold logic dramatically increases when reaching 45 nm node. We demonstrate by circuit simulation and analytical model...
