This article was originally published in the Zhihu column [The Path of Digital IC Backend Engineers]. In the field of low power design, the most effective way to reduce power consumption is through power shutdown. This is because no matter how low the voltage, how small the current, how slow the speed, or how minimal … Read more
Classification and application of power switches: Low Power Design – Power Switch In a recent project, with tight deadlines, we ran two versions, differing in whether to use UPF. The block is implemented normally, and the switch is added at the top level. 1. UPF First, let’s analyze the UPF content related to the power … Read more
Power Consumption in CMOS Circuits is Divided into Two Parts: Static Power Consumption and Dynamic Power Consumption; Static power consumption is caused by leakage current; dynamic power consumption is divided into switching power and short-circuit power. Switching power is the power consumed during the transition from 0 to 1, while short-circuit power occurs when both … Read more
