This document identifies and lists all known low-power techniques used in minimizing power consumption in silicon and systems. The document is intended to drive the flow and format requirements and reach convergence in the areas of pre- and post-silicon design. All low power techniques are classified in five categories. Clock techniques are related to optimal usage of clocks. Activity control related techniques are different hooks to monitor and control activities. Voltage techniques are related to control of operating voltage and power gating in the silicon and systems. Circuits and process are related to manufacturing processes and special circuit usage in silicon. Firmware techniques are related to software and hardware integrations in system design.
