Low Power Design Handbook – Introduction (Continued)
1.5 The Conflict Between Dynamic Power and Static Power Over the past 15 years, with the development of semiconductor technology, Vdd has decreased from 5V to 3.3V, and from 2.5V to 1.2V. The ITRS roadmap predicts that high-performance devices will use 1.0V in 2008 and 2009, while low-power devices will use 0.8V. The issue with … Read more
