1. power consumption包括static和dynamic。static主要是因為leakage current,而dynamic是因為state轉換,因此隨著複雜度昇高
2. 省電技術:
frequency scaling: 對clock降頻
clock gating: adds additional logic to a circuit to prune the clock tree,因此F/F的狀態不變,降低dynamic,只剩下static power consumption。用clock gating cell disable某些IP (intellectual property)module。
power gating: 用switch cell disable 某些power domain。意即該domain是完全沒電的
3. power domain 是由IP modules組成。例如:
CPU power domain: Cortex-A8, L1/L2 Cache, ETM, NEON
LCD power domain: LCD controller, MIE, DSIM
TV power domain: VP, MIXER, TV Encoder, HDMI
