The ARM Cortex-M4, running at 150-MHz speed is the primary application processor catering to the high-performance needs of IoT applications; the 100-MHz ARM Cortex-M0+ processor, supports low-power operations. The PSoC 6 MCU also employs dynamic voltage and frequency scaling techniques to lower the power bar further.

Since the invention of the first computer, engineers have been conceptualizing and implementing ways to optimize system performance. The last 25 years have seen a rapid evolution of many of these concepts, particularly cache memory, virtual memory, pipelining, and reduced set instruction computing (RISC). Individual each one of these concepts has helped to increase speed and efficiency thus enhancing overall system performance. Most systems today make use of many, if not all of these concepts. Arguments can be made to support the importance of any one of these concepts over one

CMOS technology is very near to its scaling limit. Using the VLSI technology, in the recent past, researchers are facing some limitations, from practical point of view, in the approaches of CMOS technology like the short

With increasing popularity of computer games, and multimedia home PC users often need an unexpensive computer system upgrade. By building a custom computer one is able to combine componenets, and operating system to provide maximal gaming performance. Computers are often called number manipulators, because of their ability to run millions of mathematical operations per second (White 43). Computers use binary system of numbers, which allows them to operate system of microscopic switches called transistors found inside of computer chips. Binary system is defined as counting system that uses two digits one and zero (Gookin 49). A transistor is a basic building block of microchips; transistors are combined in formations called logic gates

Face the loss in performances while improving the power efficiency, multiple Vdd, and multiple Vth techniques have been proposed. The gates on critical paths operate at the higher Vdd or lower Vth, while those on non-critical paths operate at the lower Vdd or higher Vth, thereby reducing overall power consumption without performance degradation.

• Size. Incorporated circuits are significantly littler—the two transistors and wires are contracted to micrometer sizes, contrasted with the millimeter or centimeter sizes of discrete segments. Little size prompts focal points in speed and power utilization, since littler parts have littler parasitic resistances, capacitances, and inductances.

Speed. Signals can be switched between logic 0 and logic 1 much quicker within a chip than they can between chips. Communication within a chip can occur hundreds of times faster than communication between chips on a printed circuit board. The high speed of circuits on-chip is due to their small size-smaller components and wires have smaller parasitic capacitances to slow down the

The continuous scaling of CMOS technology has broadened the spectrum of applications. Complex architectures can be now realized on a single chip. The integration of existing and new technologies with CMOS extends the scope of implementation.

In conclusion, one potential use for RRAM is in the aerospace industry, which requires radiation-hardened characteristics. In aerospace and nuclear environment, the non-volatile memories gen-erally serve as distributed memories to provide non-volatile data storage or data recordings to measure and track high-speed events. At present, Flash memory is the widely used technology in such radiation environment, offering both high storage density and immunity to power failure. However, given the previous arguments, our team believes that RRAM devices are far more suit-able for aerospace applications offering a better performance in the extreme conditions a space-craft has to operate.

Increasing demand for the high-performance processors, increase in the number and length of the global wires have been required even with the higher clock speed. It brings about the higher power consumption to reduce the signal delay [1]. The 3-D structure has been developed to overcome the challenges [2]. Several active layers are vertically stacked and each component that is located in the different layers can be connected by through-silicon-vias (TSVs) to communicate each other. The new structure not only provides the geometrical flexibility, but also the shorter length of the global wires allowing a higher clock and a lower power consumption [3]. The thermal issue should be considered to ensure the reliable operation of the processors.

Currently, there is undeniable interest in the computer architecture domain with regard to shared-memory multiprocessors. Often, proposed

Abstract— In this research work we present hybrid CMOS (H-CMOS) logic style for the performance improvement of one bit full Adder cell. This structure provides better implementation of for the proposed full Adder in terms of delay and compared to its counterpart power delay product. It is expected to that the propagation delay of the proposed structure of the full Adder provides more than 22 percent less compared to the next fastest Adder available. HSpice simulations using 65nm technology with a power supply of 1.2V was utilized to evaluate the performance of the circuits.

Silvia Dondi et al [3] give the design consists of N=6 J-K flip flops which are utilized as code and shift register with the number of inputs as r given by comparator output. The single line result on the basis of JK-Flip flops fails to give the power consumption benefits. It uses the asynchronous feedback through the AND gates which has a tendency to limit the maximum clock

Power consumption is an important issue in modern FPGA’s. Greater performance and complexity has led to higher power dissipation per chip, while the use of deep sub-micron processes has resulted in higher static power in the forms of sub-threshold leakage and gate leakage. Heating solutions for devices with high power dissipation is expensive. If FPGA’s are to be used in portable devices, power consumption needs to be reduced. -powered applications, high power consumption may prohibit the use of FPGA altogether. Consequently, solutions for reducing FPGA power are needed. In this work, I propose a programmable dual-VDD architecture in which the
