What are the power gains obtained by using voltage scaling with the Elastix technology?
According to our experience, if a chip is normally working at conditions around the typical corner, the power savings can be around 30-40% when compared to the synchronous counterpart running with a nominal voltage to operate at worst-case conditions. If a die manifests some process variability closer to the best-case corner, the power savings will be larger. On the other hand, if the process variability delivers a die closer to the worst-case corner, the power savings will be smaller. The Elastic Clocks will allow every die to automatically run at the best voltage according to the process variability. Variations in temperature will also have an impact on the dynamic variation of the voltage. However, this impact will be much smaller than the one determined by process variations.
