Non-mainstream technologies can offer advantages over more commonly used approaches, but usually at some additional cost (otherwise they’d probably be mainstream). The additional cost could be in ...

In an era when power has become a fundamental design constraint, questions persist about whether asynchronous logic has a role to play. It is a design style said to have significant benefits and yet ...

Managing the power consumption of ICs is an increasingly difficult challenge, because each new generation of portable device includes expanded features and demands longer battery lives.

Two companies at the Embedded Systems Conference this week have similar objectives, but for very different technologies. Coventor, a vendor of CAD and analysis tools for creating MEMS devices, ...

GRENOBLE, France – February 5, 2008 – Tiempo, specialist in the design of asynchronous (clockless) integrated circuits, closed a first financing round at 1.1 M€ (1.6 M$) with Emertec Gestion and ...

This paper describes the architectural design of RISC based asynchronous microprocessor as an alternative to clocked design. It explores the design of a low power asynchronous CORDIC coprocessor ...
