Abstract :
We present a 90nm data flow processor that executes DSP algorithms using fine grained DVS at the component level with rapid VDD switching and VDD dithering for near-ideal quadratic dynamic energy scaling from 0.25V-1.2V. Measurements show energy savings up to 50% and 46% compared to single-VDD and multi-VDD alternatives.
