Minimizing power consumption is one of the most important objectives in IC design. Resizing gates and assigning different Vt’s are common ways to meet power and timing budgets. ...
—This paper presents a 2GHz 8-bit CMOS ROM-less direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS). Nonlinear current steering digital to analog converter (DAC) has been utilized to con...
In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the battery life (or duration of service) in battery-powered CMOS circuits. We first show that the battery efficiency (or utili...
Multi-threshold CMOS is an increasingly popular circuit approach that enables high performance and low power operation. However, no methodologies have been developed to size the h...
