Abstract
Microprocessors achieving clock frequencies >1 GHz for mobile applications require solutions to maintain long battery life. Circuit and architecture solutions for dynamic frequency switching between multiple PLLs, DC power reduction methods, and impact of low-k dielectric on timing and power are discussed.
