Practical Low Power Digital VLSI Design (ePub)

Low-Power Digital VLSI Design: Circuits and Systems is devoted entirely to the analysis and design of low-power integrated circuits. Low-power process technologies and device modeling are addressed. Power dissipation in CMOS circuits, several practical circuit examples and low-power techniques are discussed. Low-voltage issues for digital CMOS and BiCMOS circuits are emphasized. This book also provides an extensive study of advanced CMOS subsystem design. A low-power design methodology with various power minimization techniques, at the circuit, logic, architecture and algorithm levels, is resented.Salient Features Low-voltage CMOS device modeling, technology files, design rules Switching activity concept, low-power guidelines to engineering practice Pass-transistor logic families Power dissipation of I/O circuits Multi-and-low VT CMOS logic, static power reduction circuit techniques State-of-the-art design of low-voltage BiCMOS and CMOS circuits Low-power techniques in CMOS SRAMs and DRAMs Low-power on-chip voltage down converter design Numerous advanced CMOS subsystems (eg. adders, multipliers, data path, memories, regular structures, phase locked loops) with several design options trading power, delay and area Low-power design methodology, power estimation techniques Power reduction techniques at the logic, architecture and algorithm levels More than 190 circuits explained at the transistor level
