Designing CMOS Circuits for Low Power

This book is the fourth in a series on novel low power design architectures, methods and design practices. It results from of a large European project started in 1997, whose goal is to promote the further development and the faster and wider industrial use of advanced design methods for reducing the power con­ sumption of electronic systems. Low power design became crucial with the wide spread of portable information and communication terminals, where a small battery has to last for a long ...
