The total power budget of Ultra-Low Power (ULP) VLSI Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) is often dominated by the leakage power of embedded memories and pipeline registers, which typically cannot be power-gated during sleep periods as they need to retain data and prog ...

Ultra-low power applications often require several kb of embedded memory and are typically operated at the lowest possible operating voltage (VDD) to minimize both dynamic and static power consumption. Embedded memories can easily dominate the overall sili ...

Current variation aware design methodologies, tuned for worst-case scenarios, are becoming increasingly pessimistic from the perspective of power and performance. A good example of such pessimism is setting the refresh rate of DRAMs according to the worst- ...

We present a low-power quasi-cyclic (QC) low density parity check (LDPC) decoder that meets the throughput requirements of the highest-rate (600 Mbps) modes of the IEEE 802.11n WLAN standard. The design is based on the layered offset-min-sum algorithm and ...

The area and power consumption of low-density parity check (LDPC) decoders are typically dominated by embedded memories. To alleviate such high memory costs, this paper exploits the fact that all internal memories of a LDPC decoder are frequently updated w ...

Embedded memories consume an increasingly dominant part of the overall area and power of a large variety of systems-on-chip [ITRS’09]: 1) biomedical implants and wireless sensor networks require robust memories operating in the sub-VT domain; 2) many handh ...

Ultra-low power (ULP) biomedical implants and sensor nodes typically require small memories of a few kb, while previous work on reliable subthreshold (sub-Vt) memories targets several hundreds of kb. Standard-cell based memories (SCMs) are a straightforwar ...

The impact of supply voltage scaling on the retention time of a 2-transistor (2T) gain-cell (GC) storage array is investigated, in order to enable low-power/low-voltage data storage. The retention time can be increased when scaling down the supply voltage ...

This paper considers the problem of increasing the storage density in fault-tolerant VLSI systems which require only limited data retention times. To this end, the concept of storing many bits per memory cell is applied to area-efficient and fully logic-co ...

In this paper, standard-cell based memories (SCMs) are proposed as an alternative to full-custom sub-VT SRAM macros for ultra-low-power systems requiring small memory blocks. The energy per memory access as well as the maximum achievable throughput in the ...

Multilevel gain-cell DRAMs are interesting to improve the area-efficiency of modern fault-tolerant systems-on-chip implemented in deep-submicron CMOS technologies. This paper addresses the problem of long access times in such multilevel gain-cell DRAMs, wh ...

PowerPC Architecture microcontrollers are commonly used in embedded applications. In this work we present FireBird, the first PowerPC based SoC for reliable operation beyond 200C. It is a significant challenge to design SoCs for reliable operation at high ...

Various synthesis strategies relying on conventional standard-cell libraries (SCLs) are evaluated in order to minimize the energy dissipation per operation in sub-threshold (sub-VT) systems. First, two sub-V T analysis methods are reviewed, both of which a ...

Compressed sensing (CS) is a universal technique for the compression of sparse signals. CS has been widely used in sensing platforms where portable, autonomous devices have to operate for long periods of time with limited energy resources. Therefore, an ul ...

All state-of-the-art subthreshold (sub-VT) memories are based on static bitcells, while the feasibility and limitations of dynamic bitcells operated in the sub-VT regime have not been studied yet. For the first time ever, we examine the sub-VT operation of ...
