Where is the next factor of 10 in energy reduction coming from?
Over the last decade chip engineers have come up with a large number of techniques to reduce power consumption: clock gating; power gating; multi-VDD; dynamic, even adaptive voltage and frequency scaling; multiple power-down modes; and of course scaling to ever … Continue reading

Power Management in USB 3.0
USB has become the most successful PC peripheral interconnect ever defined, with over 10 billion USB 2.0 products installed today. Still, despite its convenience, USB has never been either the fastest or the lowest-power interconnect protocol out there. USB 3.0 … Continue reading
Ultra Low Power Electronics in the Next Decade
As a TI Fellow and director of TI’s Kilby Research Labs, Ajith Amerasekera’s job is to predict the future and plot a roadmap to it. His keynote at day two of the low-power electronics show (ISLPED) in Austin—“Ultra Low Power … Continue reading
