Introduction to Low Power in the VLSI Chip Design and Techniques for Switching and Leakage Power Reduction
Hello Dear Readers, Today in this series of posts I will provide some deep insight into low-power VLSI design flow and the different techniques to reduce different components of power consumption. It’s no secret that power is emerging as the most critical issue in system-on-chip (SoC) design today. Power management is becoming an increasingly urgent problem for almost every category of design, as power density—measured in watts per square millimeter—rises at an alarming rate. From a chip-engineering perspective, effective energy management for an SoC must be built into the design starting at the architecture stage; and low-power techniques need to be employed at every stage of the design, from RTL to GDSII flow. Fred Pollack of Intel first noted a rather alarming trend in his keynote at MICRO-32 in 1999. He made the now well-known observation that power density is increasing at an alarming rate, approaching that of the hottest man-made objects on the planet, and graphed power den
