Low-Power Digital VLSI Design: Circuits and Systems is devoted entirely to the analysis and design of low-power integrated circuits. Low-power process technologies and device modeling are addressed. Power dissipation in CMOS circuits, several practical circuit examples and low-power techniques are discussed. Low-voltage issues for digital CMOS and BiCMOS circuits are emphasized. This book also provides an extensive study of advanced CMOS subsystem design. A low-power design methodology with various power minimization techniques, at the circuit, logic, architecture and algorithm levels, is resented.
