Module contents | According to Moore’s Law the number of integratable transistors on a computer chip doubles every two years. In addition, new circuits are getting faster and faster. This leads not only to an increased functionality of a system, but it also increases the electrical power consumption. This electrical power consumption is problematic from two different points of view: Firstly, the electrical power must be supplied. Secondly, the resulting heat has to dissipate from the system. An increased power consumption always causes lower battery life and higher energy costs. The heat generation reduces the reliability and life of integrated circuits. The cooling (ceramic housings, cooling elements, fans, etc. ) increases the system's costs. Today the development of heat, caused by power dissipation, needs to be considered during the embedded system design process. This knowledge takes the system's reliability and operation costs into account. This module introduces the estimation of power dissipation and optimisation. |
