In microprocessor-based systems, large power savings can be achieved through reduction of the transition activity of the on- and off-chip busses. This is because the total capacitance being switched when a voltage change occurs on a bus line is usually sen ...
Static energy due to subthreshold leakage current is projected to become a major component of the total energy in high performance microprocessors. Many studies so far have examined and proposed techniques to reduce leakage in on-chip storage structures. I ...
Conventional RF power amplifiers usually give their maximum efficiency near the maximum output power level. When the output power decreases, the efficiency drops sharply. Deep class AB or B PAs improve their efficiency by a self-adaptation of the current d ...
This article presents a novel approach for implementing ultra-low power digital components and systems using source-coupled logic (SCL) circuit topology, operating in weak inversion (sub-threshold) regime. PMOS transistors with shorted drain-substrate cont ...
In this letter, we propose a lateral asymmetric strain profile in a silicon nanowire or ultrathin silicon film as a key technology booster for the performance of all-silicon Tunnel FETs. We demonstrate by simulation that a Gaussian tensile-strain profile w ...

The down-scaling of conventional MOSFETs has led to an impending power crisis, in which static power consumption is becoming too high. In order to improve the energy-efficiency of electronic circuits, small swing switches are interesting candidates to repl ...
This paper presents a new approach for substrate parasitic current simulation in smart power integrated circuit. A new compact modeling approach developed in previous work has been used to create an equivalent substrate schematic. The latter is composed of ...
The progress in the technology of microelectronic devices has led to a strong miniaturization and high performance for circuits and systems, enabling modern applications such as mobile computing and communications. Today, remaining "off-chip" components th ...
A satellite navigation system (like GPS) allows an user to determine its own position everywhere and anytime on Earth. The process of calculating the position is relatively simple (use of trilateration). The main issue is to obtain and decode the transmitt ...
When it comes to performance, embedded systems share many problems with their higher-end counterparts. The growing gap between top processor frequency and memory access speed, the memory wall, is one such problem. Driven, in part, by low energy consumption ...
