⎯ Technology scaling is in the era where the chip performance is constrained by its power dissipation. Although the power limits vary with the application domain, they dictate th...
As CMOS technology scales into the nanometer regime, power dissipation and associated thermal concerns in high-performance ICs due to on-chip hot-spots and thermal gradients are b...
The use of CMOS nanometer technologies at 65 nm and below will pose serious challenges on the design of mixed-signal integrated systems in the very near future. Rising design comp...
When peak performance is unnecessary, Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) can be used to reduce the dynamic power consumption of embedded multiprocessors. In future technologies, however...
We investigate techniques to design 45nm minimum-energy subthreshold CMOS circuits under timing constraints, considering the practical case of an 8-bit multiplier. We first show ...
