field :
1. Earlier power consumption were of secondary concern that
means, more concerned about improving the performance rather than
the power consumption. However, in nanometer technology which we
also called deep submicron technology power has become most
important issue because of several factors number one is increasing
transistor count, higher speed of operation, leakage power. In
nanotechnology, these factors are becoming most important issue for
power dissipation.2. And another important factor which is also
becoming predominant that is increased process parameter
variability, due to aggressive scaling and it is creating problems
in yield due to processed parameter variation. The parameters like
threshold voltage and channel length are no longer constant. So,
yield, reliability and testing these three are creating problems as
we are going to deep submicron technology.3. Why low power? To
reduce the packaging and cooling cost,to reduce the increasing
power density by applying suitable low power techniques. Portable
systems: Commercial success of these products is dependent on size,
weight, cost and computing power and battery life . So, low-power
design methodology is very important to make them commercially
viable Relaibility: It is very important so that power consumption
is small, rise in temperature is small beside the chip can operate
unrealiabily. Environment: To reduce the adverse effect on
environment.4. In order to optimize the power dissipation of
digital system low power methodology should be applied throughout
the design process from system level to process level.
