IP Trumps Process In Cutting Power Use In Mixed-Signal ICs
From a silicon design perspective, the industry has long held the notion that power consumption can be reduced simply by porting chips forward to the next process technology node. Yet as more consumer electronics move from 130-to 90-nm mixed-signal ICs, power reductions no longer scale with technology advances and finer geometry. To select the most power-efficient chips, systems developers must look beyond process shrink capabilities and rely upon their semiconductor provider's intellectual...
