Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is known to be one of the most efficient techniques for power reduction of integrated circuits. Efficient low voltage DC-DC conversion is a key enabl...
A 0.4-V UWB digital baseband processor has been fabricated in a standard-VT 90-nm CMOS technology. The baseband processor operates at an ultra-low supply voltage to reduce energy ...
This paper addresses the problem of power-optimal repeater insertion for global buses in the presence of crosstalk noise. MTCMOS technique by inserting high-Vth sleep transistors ...
A hybrid energy source has become a necessary solution for micro-scale applications, like wireless sensors, because of small form factor and extended lifetime requirements. Conven...
To address the productivity bottlenecks in power analysis and optimization of modern systems, we propose to treat power as a signal and leverage the rich set of signal processing ...
RTL power macromodeling is a mature research topic with a variety of equation and table-based approaches. Despite its maturity, macromodeling is not yet widely accepted as an indu...
