Abstract

The design and application of low power VLSI-based circuits and systems is the focus of this forum and paper. Attention is placed on issues related to low power systems, such as choice of implementing semiconductor technology, power supply voltage (e.g., 3.3 V, 2.5 V, 1.0 V), CAD for low power design and synthesis, micropower digital and analog circuit design techniques, system architectural tradeoffs for low power, selective clocking for power management, low power synchronization strategies, self-calibration circuit techniques for low power, and low power figures of merit
