The purpose of this study was to assess power loss in the computer and office automation equipment and identified a way to save power consumptions through field measurement. In this study, the meaning of standby power was to consume power while waiting for the use of any electronic equipment. This standby consumption was about 11% of total power consumption even though we did not seriously realize it. Therefore, it was very important to measure accurate power consumption at the standby status of electronic equipment. In addition, it also helped to reduce potential risks of electricity associated disasters. This study proposed the way to reduce power losses through automatic turn off switches for power outlets and switches. Finally, this study can evaluate power consumption patterns that can reduce power consumptions and potential risks of power related disasters. This also can achieve the goals of sustainability that can reduce environmental impacts by lowering energy consumptions and greenhouse gas emissions.

In wireless sensor networks where there is no centralized base station, each node has limited transmission range and the multi-hop routing for transmitting data to the destination is the one of the important technical issues. In particular, the wireless sensor network is not powered by external power source but operates by its own battery, so it is required to maximize the network life through efficient use of energy. To balance the power consumption, the residual power based adaptive power control is required in routing protocol. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol that prolongs the network lifetime by balancing the power consumption among the nodes by controlling the transmit power according to the residual power. We evaluate the proposed routing protocol using extensive simulation, and the results show that the proposed routing scheme can balance the power consumption and prolong network lifetime.

본 논문에서는 고해상도 저전력 SAR 타입 ADC(아날로그 디지털 변환기)의 면적을 획기적으로 줄이기 위해서 역 다중화기 (Demultiplexer)와 카운터 (Counter)를 이용하는 타이밍 레지스터 (Timing register) 구조를 제안하였다. 전통적으로 사용되는 쉬프트 레지스터에 기반을 둔 타이밍 레지스터 구조는 해상도가 증가될수록 면적이 급격하게 증가하고, 또한 잡음의 원인이 되는 디지털 소비 전력도 증가되는 반면, 제안하는 구조는 해상도 증가에 따른 에러 보정 회로의 면적과 소비 전력 증가를 줄일 수 있다. 0.18 um CMOS 공정을 이용하여 제작하였으며, 제안한 타이밍 레지스터 구조를 이용하여, 기존 구조 대비 5.4배의 면적 감소와 디지털 전력 최소화의 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 설계한 12 비트 SAR ADC는 11 비트의 유효 비트 (ENOB), 2 mW (기준전압 생성 블록 포함)의 소비전력과 1 MSPS의 변환 속도를 보였으며, 레이아웃 면적은 $1mm{\times}1mm$ 이었다.

The delay-insensitive Null Convention Logic (NCL) asynchronous design as one of innovative asynchronous logic design methodologies has many advantages of inherent robustness, power consumption, and easy design reuses. However, transistor-level structures of conventional NCL gate cells have weakness of high area overhead and high power consumption. This paper proposes a new NCL gate based on power gating structure. The proposed $4{\times}4$ NCL multiplier based on power gating structure is compared to the conventional NCL $4{\times}4$ multiplier and MTNCL(Multi-Threshold NCL) $4{\times}4$ multiplier in terms of speed, power consumption, energy and size using PTM 45 nm technology.

An analog CMOS vision chip for edge detection with power consumption below 20mW was designed by adopting electronic switches. An electronic switch separates the edge detection circuit into two parts; one is a logarithmic compression photocircuit, the other is a signal processing circuit for edge detection. The electronic switch controls the connection between the two circuits. When the electronic switch is OFF, it can intercept the current flow through the signal processing circuit and restrict the magnitude of the current flow below several hundred nA. The estimated power consumption of the chip, with $128{\times}128$ pixels, was below 20mW. The vision chip was designed using $0.25{\mu}m$ 1-poly 5-metal standard full custom CMOS process technology.

A client collaboration (CC) system is proposed for a user relay system. The proposed scheme focuses on the management of transmit power and leakage interference. In the proposed CC system, edge users transmit signals to the masters considered as user relays. The masters relay the signals of the edge users to the base station using the resource blocks (RBs) that are assigned to the edge users. The leakage interference and power consumption were analyzed in the CC system. In addition, an optimal master location problem was formulated based on the signal-to-leakage-plus-noise ratio (SLNR). Because the optimal master location problem is quite complex, a sub-optimal master location problem was proposed and a closed-form sub-optimal master location was obtained. The edge users generate smaller leakage interference and power consumption in the proposed CC system compared to the system without the CC. The numerical results showed that the edge users generate smaller leakage interference and power consumption in the proposed CC system compared to the system without the CC, and the average throughput increases.
