ULTRALOW-POWER FD-SOI LSI DESIGN FOR FUTURE MOBILE SYSTEMS

摘要

Ultralow-power CMOS/SOI circuit technology that uses fully-depleted SOI and multi-threshold (MT) CMOS circuits makes it possible to lower the supply voltage to 0.5 V and reduce the power dissipation of LSIs to 1 ～ 10 mW without any speed loss. We overview some ultralow-voltage MTCMOS/SOI circuits including analog/RF circuits and a DC-DC converter. We also describe a self-powered short-range wireless system to verify the effectiveness of the ultralow-voltage MTCMOS/SOI circuits.
