Proceedings of the 2000 international symposium on Low power electronics and …, 2000•dl.acm.orgProcessors in portable electronic devices generally have a computational load which has
time-varying performance requirements. Dynamic Voltage Scaling is a method to vary the
processors supply voltage so that it consumes the minimal amount of energy by operating at
the minimum performance level required by the active software processes. A dynamically
varying supply voltage has implications on the processor circuit design and design flow, but
with some minimal constraints it is straightforward to design a processor with this capability.
