Springer - Sub-threshold Design for Ultra Low-Power Systems

As System-on-Chips (SoCs) integrate tens of millions of devices on-chip, managing energy expenditure per operation is a primary concern for digital and analog integrated circuits. This technical book from Springer addresses this challenge by focusing on sub-threshold circuit design. By scaling voltages below device thresholds, designers can reduce energy per operation by an order of magnitude compared to conventional operation. While this approach involves trade-offs in circuit performance, it is a necessary strategy for modern engineering requirements. This resource provides essential knowledge for developing efficient systems for emerging applications, such as self-powered RFID and wireless sensor networks, where power management is a top priority.
