Abstract - This paper studies design considerations for lowpower ultra wideband (UWB) receiver architectures. First, three different architectures for the impulse-radio UWB transce...
This paper reviews the main failure mechanisms occurring in modern power modules paying special attention to insulated gate bipolar transistor devices for high-power applications....
The CPU is one of the major power consumers in a portable computer, and considerable power can be saved by turning off the CPU when it is not doing useful work. In Apple's Ma...
This paper describes a technique for calculating the switching activity of a set of registers shared by dierent data values. Based on the assumption that the joint pdf (probabili...
Recovering and reusing circuit energies that would otherwise be dissipated as heat can reduce the power dissipated by a VLSI chip. To accomplish this requires a power source that ...
