Data-dependent operation speed-up through automatically-inserted signal transition detectors for ultra-low voltage logic circuits
François Botman, David Bol, Jean-Didier Legat · 2012
As electronics becomes more mobile, and its uses and applications more widespread, there is an increased need for a low-power yet powerful system to perform a multitude of varied of tasks. Downscaling the supply voltage improves a device's power usage, but also severely impacts the overall performance. A careful balance must therefore be struck between the needs of the application in terms of processing speed versus power usage.
