Abstract:An ARM926EJ-S™ microcontroller with a fully resonant clock distribution network and 16KB data and instruction caches has been implemented in 130nm bulk silicon. Workloads execute successfully across process and temperature corners, and at room temperature, typical-process chips run at clock speeds up to 200MHz with I.2V supply. At resonance, the microcontroller core dissipates 0.23mW/MHz, recovering 85% of the energy in its clock distribution network. Total power savings range from 20% to 35%, depending on app… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
