Sources of Power Consumption

  • Chapter
Low Power Digital CMOS Design

Abstract

The design of portable devices certainly requires consideration of the peak power consumption for reliability and proper circuit operation, but more critical is the time averaged power consumption which is directly proportional to the battery weight and volume required to operate circuits for a given amount of time. In fact, the approaches which will be presented to minimize the average power consumption will also reduce the peak power consumption and improve reliability.
