The management of power consumption for battery life is widely considered to be the limiting
factor in supporting the concurrent operation of high performance, complex applications on
mobile platforms. At 65nm and below, minimizing the static power dissipation through
aggressive techniques such as coarse grain MTCMOS power gating and threshold voltage
scaling can yield these significant reductions in power consumption that are necessary. ARM and
Synopsys have jointly developed a comprehensive low power technology demonstrator that
employs these advanced low power techniques. Various alternative approaches to MTCMOS
power gating and threshold voltage scaling are discussed together with a detailed description of
the implementation flow and the results.
