What's cool for the future of ultra low power designs?

Abstract

Ultra low power and energy efficiency requirements are common to most IC designs today. Requirements range from extending battery life to operating on harvested energy, with applications ranging from consumer electronics to medical applications. Design methodologies have evolved over the past decade to cater to low power designs. This panel will discuss the design methodology challenges in the next generation ultra low power and energy efficient IC designs, covering EDA roadmap, low power standards, and design and verification flows.
