Low-Power Design for Embedded Processors
Minimization of power consumption in portable and battery-powered embedded systems has become an important aspect of pro-cessor and system design. Opportunities for power optimization and tradeoffs emphasizing low power are available across the en-tire design hierarchy. A review of low-power techniques applied at many levels of the design hierarchy is presented, and an example of low-power processor architecture is described along with...

Low-Power LCD Display Systems
Despite the limited power available in a battery-operated mobile embedded system, its display must have an enough resolution and sufficient color depth to support quality graphical user interfaces and multimedia applications. An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is a standard display device, and a color TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) LCD is common even in a low-cost equipment. An LCD display system is composed of an LCD panel, a frame buffer...

RTOS - the heart of good power management
Low power consumption is an essential factor in many embedded applications. The growing importance of battery powered applications for portable electronics, home automation and wireless communications—for example, in medical devices, personal navigation devices, sports watches and portable games consoles—means that the demand for improved battery life-time is growing dramatically. The number of low-power versions of microprocessors and other...

The Many Flavors of Low-Power, Low-Cost FPGAs
Motivated by the belief that people should have a choice, Baskin-Robbins, a global chain of ice cream parlors, opened in 1945 with 21 flavors, an innovative concept at the time. In 1953, the store kicked off its famous “31 Flavors” slogan, representative of a flavor for every day of the month. More than 60 years later, the chain now offers more than 1,000 unique flavors of ice cream. For today’s designers using programmable logic, the...
