Low Power Design Guide
5 Conclusion It was shown, that the most promising approach to low power design starts at the system level. Over all system power dissipation can roughly be divided into three parts: 33% I/O, 33% cores/memory and 33% control logic. Energy consumption breaks down into dynamic, static, leakage and short circuit power dissipation. Dynamic power, with a share of 80% is the starting-point for most of the introduced methodologies. The other sources are out of the scope of common designers, since they would need to act on a rank of abstraction below gate level. This paper delivered several ideas and methodologies. They have to be evaluated for its relevance for each individual project.
