Low-Power Electronics Design covers all major aspects of low-power design of ICs in deep submicron technologies and addresses emerging topics related to future design. It explores the many different domains and disciplines that impact power consumption, including processors, complex circuits, software, CAD tools, and energy sources and management. The authors present techniques that are promising but are not yet reality, such as nanotechnologies, optical circuits, ad hoc networks, e-textiles, and human-powered sources of energy. This volume delivers a complete picture of today's methods for reducing power, as well as future advances in chip design.
