Effectively managing energy and power consumption is crucial to the success of the design
of any computing system, hel** mitigate the efficiency obstacles given by the downsizing …

Soft open points (SOPs) are power electronic devices which can replace conventional
normally open points in distribution networks. SOPs enable full control of active power flow …

While power-gating is a promising technique to mitigate the increasing static power of a
chip, a fundamental requirement is for the idle periods to be sufficiently long to compensate …

Adiabatic logic is a potential successor for static CMOS circuit design when it comes to ultra-
low-power energy consumption. Future development like the evolutionary shrinking of the …

Despite technical advances in efficiency, devices in standby continue to consume up to 16%
of residential electricity. Finding practical, cost-effective reductions is difficult. While the per …

The Internet of Things (IoT) employs sensors and the Internet for information exchange,
enabling intelligent identification, monitoring, and management, which has deeply impacted …

This book discusses new techniques for detecting, controlling, and exploiting the impacts of
temperature variations on nanoscale circuits and systems. A new sensor system is …

Future microprocessors may become so power constrained that not all transistors will be
able to be powered on at once. These systems will be required to nimbly adapt to changes …

Leakage power dissipation is projected to grow exponentially in the next decade according
to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). This directly affects …

Power Gating has become one of the most widely used circuit design techniques for
reducing leakage current. Its concept is very simple, but its application to standard-cell VLSI …
