IEEE Computer Society Annual Symposium on VLSI (ISVLSI'03) An Implementation of a 32-bit ARM Processor Using Dual Power Supplies and Dual Threshold Voltages Tampa, Florida February 20-February 21 ISBN: 0-7695-1904-0
With the explosion of portable electronic devices, power efficient processors have become increasingly important. In this paper we present a set of circuit techniques to implement a 32-bit low-power ARM processor, found commonly in embedded systems, using a six metal layer 0.18 ?m TSMC process. Our methodology is based on Clustered Voltage Scaling (CVS) and dual-Vth techniques aiming to reduce both dynamic power and static power simultaneously.
