Low-Power Solution
Power consumption affects the designer's ability to differentiate a product based on features, cost, performance, time to market, and even reliability. For mobile equipment, the explosion of applications leads to skyrocketing performance demands, in turn requiring innovative energy management. For data centers, where cooling represents a large proportion of overhead, power density management is critical to reduce cooling costs and increase reliability. Finally, at advanced process nodes, leakage is a critical issue, turning nearly all designs into advanced low-power designs.
