  • The low-power design of prefix adder

    Creator:
    Chang, Che-jen
    Abstract:
    Minimizing the dynamic power consumption of a circuit is becoming a more and more important issue for digital circuit design in the age of portable electronics. Among all the arithmetic circuits, addition is the most fundamental operation. Therefore, designing low power adder is an important and necessary research area. In...

  • Low-voltage switched-capacitor circuits

    Creator:
    Bidari, Emad
    Abstract:
    In recent years, the rapidly growth of CMOS technology has evolved towards submicron and deep-submicron features. Due to smaller device sizes, and significant demand for low-power designs, the maximum allowable power supply voltage is restricted. So far, two solutions; clock boosting and switched opamp schemes have been proposed. The material...

  • Power estimation of superscalar microprocessor using VHDL model

    Creator:
    Zhang, Wanpeng
    Abstract:
    Power optimization becomes more and more important due to the design cost and reliability. Sometimes high power consumption means expensive package cost and low reliability. The first step in optimizing power consumption is determining where power is consumed within a processor. While system-level code tracing and bit transition calculation are...

  • Low voltage techniques for pipelined analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Carnes, Joshua Kenneth
    Abstract:
    To realize pipelined ADCs in deep-submicron processes, low voltage techniques must be developed to work around problems created by limited supply voltages such as the floating switch dead zone, reduced SNR, and reduced OpAmp performance. This thesis analyzes standard and low voltage design issues for pipelined ADCs and proposes a...

  • Low-voltage data converters

    Creator:
    Meng, Qingdong
    Abstract:
    With the growing demand for portable/consumer electronics, such as digital audio/video (AV), the downscaling of device dimensions, which enables the integration of an increasing number of transistors in a single chip, is mandatory. This trend also continuously pushes the power supply voltage down to reduce the power consumption and improve...

  • Low power scheduling schemes that consider latency and resource constraints at multiple voltages

    Creator:
    Huang, Shyh-Sen
    Abstract:
    Power reduction can be achieved at many different levels, such as architecture, algorithm, logic, and transistor levels in circuit design. This thesis focuses on low power scheduling at the algorithm level. We present a latency-constrained scheduling and a latency and resource constrained scheduling, which minimize power consumption for the resources...

  • Noise optimization for low-voltage CMOS audio preamplifier systems

    Creator:
    Brown, Matthew Eugene
    Abstract:
    There is a large and growing market for portable consumer audio products with very small size. As the size of these products is reduced, the area occupied by batteries becomes significant and hence limits the number of batteries to one. In order to build such small products, high levels of...
