As frequencies and feature size scale faster than operating voltages, power density is increasing in each processor generation. Power density and the cost of removing the heat it ...
Data stability of SRAM cells has become an important issue with the scaling of CMOS technology. Memory banks are also important sources of leakage since the majority of transistors...
– In the sub-65 nm CMOS technologies, subthreshold and gate dielectric leakage currents need to be simultaneously suppressed for effective energy reduction. New low-leakage circu...
Leakage energy consumption is an increasingly important issue as the technology continues to shrink. Since on-chip caches constitute a major portion of the processor's transi...
On-chip L1 and L2 caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. In deep sub-micron technology, the subthreshold leakage power is becoming...
