چکیده
Bell’s Law predicts continual reductions in the size of computing systems. We investigate the status of the next paradigm shift that will usher in ubiquitous computing – submm3 sensor nodes. However, this form factor remains beyond the capabilities of modern integrated circuit design techniques due to battery size. This paper describes new ultra-low power circuit techniques applied to digital processors, memory, power management, and a special focus on standby mode operation, that will bring mm3 sensor nodes to reality.

متن کاملLow Dropout Based Noise Minimization of Active Mode Power Gated Circuit
Power gating technique reduces leakage power in the circuit. However, power gating leads to large voltage fluctuation on the power rail during power gating mode to active mode due to the package inductance in the Printed Circuit Board. This voltage fluctuation may cause unwanted transitions in neighboring circuits. In this work, a power gating architecture is developed for minimizing power in a...
