Novel class of data converters that can be designed with fully-automated digital design flows for design turnaround time down to a few hours instead of months

A new class of sensor interfaces cuts down the design effort from months to hours, reduces circuit complexity by at least 30 times, while being highly robust against wide fluctuations in power harvested from the environment. The Green IC research group in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National University of Singapore’s […]

First microprocessor with energy-performance tradeoff wider than voltage scaling for faster operation and longer battery life

A team of researchers from NUS have invented a novel class of reconfiguration techniques that adaptively extends both the minimum power consumption and the maximum performance of digital circuits, well beyond common voltage scaling. Such extended adaptation allows digital silicon chips to operate at lower power during normal use, and at higher performance level when […]
