Most IC designs involve engineering trade-offs. For example, when determining the operating frequency of an SOC (system on chip), the system architect has to consider how the frequency will impact ...

Nowadays, chip vendors are devoted to developing new power savingtechniques in order to extend the battery life of portable devices suchas cell phone, MP3 player, portable media player, notebook PC, ...

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling can save a lot of power and energy, but design costs can be high and verification difficult. Almost all designs have become power-aware and are being forced to ...

DVFS has physics powerfully in its favor. As Vinod Viswanath, director of research and development at Real Intent sums it up, “dynamic power consumption has a linear dependence on frequency and a ...

At Hot Chips this past week, Intel's Rajesh Patel revealed more details of the chipmaker's upcoming Moorestown platform. Patel, who is the lead architect of the platform's system-on-a-chip (SoC) part, ...

Successful low-power IC designs implement several power management schemes through a comprehensive design, implementation and verification tool chain that understands the power intent. These designs ...

San Jose, CA, April 3, 2006. . . Atmel® Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML) today announced the AP7000 family of high-performance 32-bit digital signal controllers, the first family based on the company's high ...

Modern CPUs are becoming immensely powerful. This is because they are powered by a number of cores. These multiple cores can definitely make the CPU reach a very high overall clock frequency, but all ...

Photonic-based instantaneous frequency measurement (IFM) of unknown microwave signals offers improved flexibility and frequency range as compared with electronic solutions. However, no photonic ...
