The idea is to trade the filter order with the coefficient length. To show the results two filters were designed and implemented, one as a minimum order filter and the other as a minimum coefficient filter. Measurements shows that a ten fold increase in sample rate can be obtained at half the power consumption.","PeriodicalId":300310,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Also, the spectral degradation due to quantization error of filter coefficients and truncation of filter output is simulated.

Threshold voltage reduction enables aggressive supply scaling but increases leakage power. Emerging technologies such as MTCMOS and variable threshold bulk/SOI will be essential in controlling leakage while achieving high performance levels at low supply voltages. Power can also be reduced by adaptively varying the supply voltage in applications where the computational workload varies with time. Aggressive voltage and power level scaling requires efficient DC-DC conversion circuitry and in some cases, it is necessary to embed this function in the processor.","PeriodicalId":300310,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
