4 FAQs about Portable chip power requirements

Should power consumption be reduced in portable and battery-powered embedded systems?

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.

What is Gate sizing in low-power processors?

This technique is common in the design of datapath functions in low-power processors as will be described later. For synthesized portions of a design using gates from a predetermined library, gate sizing should be performed when possible to ensure that no noncritical circuit path is overly fast.

What Watts Does a CPU use?

At the extreme low power range, these are typically 8-bit CPUs with power dissipation measured in microwatts, which power devices such as digital watches, calculators, and other long-life devices. In the midrange, 16- and 32-bit pro-cessors power handheld devices with dissipation measured in milliwatts.

Who consumes the most power in a low-power embedded system?

As the brain of the application, the MCU typically consumes the most power and has the most control over the system power consumption. As with all designs, it is important for the designer of a low-power embedded system to consider trade-offs between power consumption, and other factors, such as cost, size and complexity.
