Multicore server, PC, and embedded designs push memory power, drive use of advanced DDR3 SDRAMs

Systems designers try all sorts of methods to reduce system power consumption. For years, we’ve relied on circuit tricks and have been reducing logic supply levels from the 5V power supplies that were so common in from the 1970s and … Continue reading

SPMT engulfs LPDDR2 standard, making adoption a no-brainer. Meanwhile Marvell jumps on the bandwagon.

An insidious power problem has slowly crept up on embedded-system designers. While most of us were firmly focused on the power dissipation of our ever-expanding logic designs with their increasing number of processor cores in multicore designs, we mostly ignored … Continue reading
