White Papers TOP STORIES Rethinking Good Enough Power consumption is now considered a feature; it's also something that is being used as a tradeoff for other features. The Next Big Challenge Integration of different operating systems across SoCs with a focus on power is forcing some unusual combinations—and lots of headaches. When Worlds Collide: Saving Power In Communications Applications Understanding total energy consumption puts a new emphasis on understanding the impact of the software used in a system. A single application can throw off everything. Experts At The Table: Making Software More Energy-Efficient First of three parts: Understanding the differences between software and hardware; what the software engineer sees and can do about it; when to tackle the problem; what's missing. What Happens When The Plug Is Pulled Peripherals have always had the luxury of design without concern for power. As devices become more mobile that's changing. Status Report: Power-Aware Design Flow Some pieces are still missing, but more pieces are available today than are being used; what needs to change. More Top Stories NEWS & FEATURES Power Bits: The Price Of Power CES turns greener this year; Intel, TI and Nvidia all push low-power technology. More News & Features PODCASTS/VIDEOS/WEBCASTS Making Software Better What do software engineering teams need to deliver more efficient software? It isn't always about more time. More Podcasts/Videos/Webcasts BLOGS/TWITTER Editor's Note Getting Paid For Efficiency The demand for low-power electronics is growing globally, but who's actually making money? JB's Circuit IP Trumps Moore's Law in SoC Costs Apple continues to reduce system costs through customized chip design via IP integration and software tailoring, not through traditional cost per gate. Absolute Power iPhone Antennagate Solved The 4S eliminates the deathgrip problem and offers improved communications efficiency. What's changed? Everything Low Power Power Intent Formats: Reality Check Digging into power formats CPF 1.1 and UPF 1.0 using current tools support for complex designs. Power Awareness Peace Overture Can virtual prototyping bring hardware and software engineers together? Well, maybe. Barry's Power Points Undervolting & Underclocking How much money can you save by turning down the clock speed and reducing the voltage? Power Source Better Power Planning Good reasons to bridge RTL to physical gap for robust power delivery networks. WHITE PAPERS Virtual Prototyping For Energy-Efficient Mobile Platform Design A look at the complexity of power management at the software level for mobile denies using Linux and Android. Characterizing PLL Jitter From Power Supply Fluctuation Using Mixed-Signal Slow simulation speed has been the major bottleneck to prevent jitter from being characterized quickly. Here's how to solve that problem. More White Papers

OUR SPONSORS VIDEOS/PODCASTS What do software engineering teams need to deliver more efficient software? It isn't always about more time. The benefits of looking at power much, much earlier in the design flow. Intel's Max Domeika talks about migration techniques for the embedded Atom processor. More Videos/Podcasts
