Suppose that scaling factor in the next process generation is A = 0.7. With limited voltage scaling (i.e. supply voltage cannot be lowered), suppose that we want to keep the dynamic power consumption constant in the next generation while also shrinking the die size by 20%. How much should we reduce clock frequency to achieve that? Suppose that scaling factor in the next process generation is A = 0.7.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To keep the dynamic power consumption constant while scaling the process generation with a scaling factor A 07 we can use the following equation Pdynamic CV2f Where Pdynamic is the dynamic power consumption which we want to keep constant C is the capacitance assumed to remain constant V is the supply voltage assumed to remain constant due to limited voltage scaling f ...
