In simpler times, FPGA power consumption was a simpler issue. In the traditional applications of high-capacity FPGAs, such as expensive network routers, telecommunications switching gear, and ...

This is the second part of a two part article focusing on power minimization in deep submicron ASICs. Part 1 illustrates five architectural methods of low power design. The focus of this part is on ...

Choosing power-estimation and power-reduction methodologies involves not only what they can (and cannot) do and how well they do it, but at what cost. Costs include power-estimation tools and model ...
