This paper describes a variable supply-voltage (VS) scheme. From an external supply, the VS scheme automatically generates minimum internal supply voltages by feedback control of buck converter, speed detector, and timing controller so that they meet demand on its operation frequency. A 32-b RISC core processor is developed in 0.4-/spl mu/m CMOS technology which optimally controls supple with threshold through substrate bias control. Performance MIPS/W improved factor more than two compared...
Unitized reversible fuel cells (URFCs) combine the functionality of a cell (FC) and an electrolyzer (Ely) in single device. In polymer electrolyte URFCs, gas purging is crucial switching from Ely to FC operation. A purge model was developed here clarify relationship between time flow rate. The considers evaporation diffusion liquid water layer membrane. To validate our model, we compared predictions high frequency resistance vs with experimental results for two URFCs different sizes at...
A 300 MIPS/W RISC core processor with variable supply-voltage (VS) scheme in threshold-voltage CMOS (VTCMOS) is presented. Performance can be improved by a factor of more than two no modification the except for substrate contacts VTCMOS. From 3.3 V external power supply VS automatically generates minimum internal voltages which meet demand on its operation frequency.
