Power dissipation in portables: Design considerations using low-power CMOS ICs

When a CMOS circuit is in an idle state there is still some static power dissipation–a result of leakage current through nominally off transistors. Both nMOS and pMOS transistors used in CMOS logic ...

Simplifying VLSI System Power Design

Today’s complex VLSI devices also have complex power requirements, often using several different supply voltages for the core, peripheral, and I/O logic, some of which need to vary depending on ...
