A deep dive into power-aware design and why the functional intent becomes the RTL and the power intent file.

Using techniques such as power gating and substrate biasing is making it much harder to verify a design and make sure power control sequences and biasing strategy are correct.

Understanding the management techniques that define device static power consumption and how to utilize them.

How to identify weak areas of the layout or circuit that are most vulnerable to ESD failures.

A look at four abstract models in common use today and the relationships between them.

A critical engineering challenge for next-generation unmanned systems.

Unlike incandescent bulbs, increasing the heat in LEDs decreases light output, changes the color and reduces the life of the bulb, making thermal management critical.

A look at the power vs. resolution tradeoffs in the design of pipeline ADCs.

A look at the complexity of power management at the software level for mobile denies using Linux and Android.

Slow simulation speed has been the major bottleneck to prevent jitter from being characterized quickly. Here’s how to solve that problem.

A look at some of the tools available to help make low-power design simpler.
