Despite constant improvements in fabrication technology, hardware components are consuming more power than ever. With the everincreasing demand for higher performance in highly-in...
A large and increasing number of modern embedded systems are subject to tight power/energy constraints. It has been demonstrated that the operating system (OS) can have a signifi...
— Direct tunneling current is the major component of static power dissipation of a CMOS circuit for technology below 65nm, where the gate dielectric (SiO2) is very low. We intuit...
