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

Low Power Design | Retention Register

Low Power Design | Retention Register

In power-off modules, it may be required for the register to latch data before power-off or to restore latched data after power-on, which necessitates a special unit known as the Retention Register. The retention register consists of two sets of registers: the Main Register and the shadow register, where the shadow register is powered by … Read more
