Historically, area and performance have been the key drivers for IC design, but increasingly, power minimization has become the leading objective, with more and more designs failing or having to be ...

Contributors to this article include Steve Carlson, Jack Erickson, Gurudev Sirsi, and Ashutosh Mauskar. Designing for low power always has been challenging for engineers. Applications demand low power ...

Advanced power-reduction techniques, such as multi-VDD architectures and power-aware clock tree synthesis (CTS), allow designers to implement large, complex SoCs that consume less power. Leakage power ...

A design collaboration between the Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and ARM on a 65nm low-power test chip resulted in significantly reduced dynamic and leakage power performance. A ...

Concerns about the power consumed by semiconductors has been on the rise for the past couple of decades, but what can we expect to see coming in terms of analysis and automation from EDA companies, ...

Most of us have become accustomed to interacting with the ubiquitous technology ecosystem daily (if not hourly). From fitness trackers, smart vacuums, and semi-autonomous vehicles to the smart home ...
