Optimizing first for best power instead of best timing delivers better results all around. Among the key targets in place-and-route—performance, power, and area (PPA) — performance has traditionally been the primary focus. Low power has been gaining in importance though, particularly at today’s advanced process nodes. Of course, no one wants lower-performing chips, so place-and-route ...

Imec has developed a impulse-radio UWM transmitter IC measuring 0.155mm², with a power consumption of less than 10 milliwatt (mW), fabbed in 28nm CMOS. The chip can accommodate data transfer rates of 1.66Gb/s. This is 50 times the speed supported by today’s UWB standard The chip’s performance strengthens researchers’ belief that UWB is perfectly capable ...
