Abstract One of the biggest problems in complicated and high-performance SoC design is management of energy and/or power consumption. In this chapter, we present energy management techniques in system design i...ncluding HW and SW, SoC architecture and logic design. Dynamic power consumption is the major factor of energy consumption in the current CMOS digital circuits. The dynamic power consumption is affected by supply voltage, load capacitance and switching activity. We present approaches to controlling supply voltage, load capacitance and switching activity dynamically and statically in system architecture and algorithm design levels. We also discuss on the memory architecture for reducing power and energy in HW and SW co-design of SoC. In the future CMOS technology, leakage power consumption becomes dominant, because the threshold voltages are scaled as the transistor size shrinks. We summarize the techniques for reducing leakage power in system architecture design. The contents of the chapter include the following issues; (1) power and energy consumptions in SoC design, (2) tradeoff between energy and performance, (3) tradeoff among energy, QoS (i.e., latency and computational precision), reliability, and flexibility (4) techniques for reducing dynamic power consumption, and (5) leakage power reduction techniques.show more
