Dynamic voltage scaling on a low-power microprocessor

Abstract
Power consumption is the limiting factor for the functionality of future wearable devices. Since interactive applications like wireless information access generate bursts of activities, it is important to match the performance of the wearable device accordingly. This paper describes a system with a microprocessor whose speed can be varied (frequency scaling) as well as its input voltage. Voltage scaling is important for reducing power consumption to very low values when operating at low speeds. ...
