Book excerpt: A comprehensive look at the rapidly growing field of low-power VLSIdesign Low-power VLSI circuit design is a dynamic research area driven bythe growing reliance on battery-powered portable computing andwireless communications products. In addition, it has becomecritical to the continued progress of high-performance and reliablemicroelectronic systems. This self-contained volume clearlyintroduces each topic, incorporates dozens of illustrations, andconcludes chapters with summaries and references. VLSI circuit andCAD engineers as well as researchers in universities and industrywill find ample information on tools and techniques for design andoptimization of low-power electronic systems. Topics include: * Fundamentals of power dissipation in microelectronicdevices * Estimation of power dissipation due to switching, short circuit,subthreshold leakage, and diode leakage currents * Design and test of low-voltage CMOS circuits * Power-conscious logic and high-level synthesis * Low-power static RAM architecture * Energy recovery techniques * Software power estimation and optimization
