Low Power VLSI Design (Basic Concepts)

Introduction:-

During Desktop PC design era VLSI design efforts were mainly focused on optimizing speed to realize computationally intensive real time functions such as video compressing , graphics, gaming etc. While these solutions have addressed the real time issues still the increasing demand of portable operations where the mobile needs to pack all these functions without operating much power is unaddressed. The strict limitation on power dissipation in portable electronics applications such as smart phones and tablet computers must be met by the VLSI chip designer while still meeting the computational requirements. Hence, the most important factor while designing SOC for portable devices is "Keep the Power Consumption MINIMUM!!!’
