Low Power Design Techniques - Multi VDD

Half Dimension – w Mu Xiaojiu w Low Power Design Techniques – Multi VDD Dynamic power consumption is proportional to the square of the voltage; therefore, reducing the supply voltage is very effective in lowering dynamic power consumption. The principle of multi-supply voltage is shown in the figure below. For certain modules in the design, … Read more

Introduction to ASIC Design Process

Introduction to ASIC Design Process

The typical ASIC design process can be divided into logical design and physical design. Logical design starts with high-level design specifications and chip architecture. The chip architecture describes high-level functionality, power consumption, and timing (the speed at which the design operates) requirements. This is followed by a description of the design at the register transfer … Read more
