Low Power Digital VLSI Design Circuits and Systems [Paperback]

Low- Power Digital VLSI Desing: Circuits and Systems is devoted entirely to the analysis and design of low-power integrated circuits Low-power process technologies and device modeling are addressed Power dissipation in CMOS circuits Several practical examples and low-power techniques are discussed. Low-voltage issues for digital CMOS and BiCMOS circuits are emphasized. This book also provides an extensive study of advanced CMOS subsystem design. A low-power design methodology with various power minimization techniques, at the circuit, logic, architecture and algorithm levels, is resented.
