    Many different approaches are used to reduce power consumption at the circuit level design. Some of the main techniques are Transistor Sizing, Voltage Scaling, Voltage Islands, Multiple Threshold Voltages and Power Gating. There is a negative effect with each power optimisation technique used at the expense of performance or area. Rabaey (1996) states that Transistor Sizing (TS) technique is used to adjust the size of each transistor (smallest element in the digital system) or gate (group of transistors)

    1781 Words  | 4 Pages

    Reliability is one of the most important factors in circuit design. For modern CMOS technology, the circuit reliability is influenced by the shrinking of technology, the reduced supply voltage, higher frequency, and higher circuit density. These factors affects the circuit's probability of soft errors (also called single event upset). In addition, the process variation introduced in the fabrication process is also a big challenge for circuit designers because it makes the same circuit show different

    830 Words  | 2 Pages

    Process tuning strategy is to minimize the average power consumption of multi-core processors that use the DVFS and CG techniques, while providing the same maximum performance. By scaling the supply voltage (VDD), maximum operating frequency is increased to enhance the performance of a multi core processor. However, increasing VDD is limited by the power and thermal constraints. These constraints can be determined by capacity of supply voltage regulators and cooling solutions in the computing platforms

  • What is a Power Inverter?

    754 Words  | 2 Pages

    A power inverter, or inverter, is an electronic device or circuitry that changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).[1] The function of an Inverter is to change the Dc input to a symmetrical AC voltage of desired magnitude and frequency. The output voltage could be fixed or variable at a fixed or variable frequency. A variable output can be obtained by varying the DC input voltage and maintaining the gain of the inverter constant.[2] Voltage and current waveforms produced by inverters
