Abstract

Some of the most important application areas for integrated circuits are in portable communication and computing devices. Since batteries power these devices, power is only available in limited quantities. Optimizing for power allows engineers to produce designs, which extend battery life or use a smaller battery to save volume and weight. The excess heat produced by electrical equipment is also directly related to power consumption and is an important consideration in many applications.
