Reverse-body bias and supply collapse for low effective standby power.

Reverse-body bias and supply collapse for low effective standby power.

Integrated circuits fabricated on a low-leakage process typically display lower performance due to the high threshold voltage (Vt) transistors. Higher performance microprocessors sacrifice power efficiency by decreasing Vt. We show that a processor built on a low Vt process can achieve the power-per...
