This is an error-prone and difficult task, which significantly increases the time to market of new applications. Floating point is typically considered power inefficient, which might be valid for the actual calculations alone, but on system level many other factors have to be considered: Fixed point requires scaling (extra cycles) and wide data types and registers (accumulators) to avoid overflows. Also existing floating point standards like IEEE 754 are complex due to corner cases (NaN, Subnormal numbers, etc.), which can possibly be ignored.ma, 10, okt, 2011 11:51:03http://www.holstcentre.nl/Talent/ThesisOpportunities/Power Efficient Floating-point processors.aspxhttp://www.holstcentre.nl/Talent/ThesisOpportunities/Sub threshold Std Cell characterization.aspxUltra-low power (ULP) for e.g. biomedical sensor applications is achieved by drastically reducing the supply voltage.

By using power gating specific parts of an IC can be selectively cut-off from the power supply when their functionality is not required at a certain moment in time, hence reducing the overall leakage power consumption. However, power gating induces overheads in terms of time, energy and area that have to be considered in the design process.ma, 10, okt, 2011 11:48:57http://www.holstcentre.nl/Talent/ThesisOpportunities/Exploration of advanced power gating techniques.aspxhttp://www.holstcentre.nl/Talent/ThesisOpportunities/Student projects within Holst Program Lithography on flexible substrates.aspxHolst Centre is a world-leading open-innovation R&D centre, creating generic technologies in the field of plastic electronics, with applications which span a wide range, from plastic displays and photovoltaic cells to biosensors, and organic lighting.
