 This book carefully details design tools and techniques for realizing low power and energy efficiency in a highly productive design methodology. Important topics include: - Microarchitectural techniques to reduce energy per operation - Power reduction with timing slack from pipelining - Analysis of the benefits of using multiple supply and threshold voltages - Placement techniques for multiple supply voltages - Verification for multiple voltage domains - Improved algorithms for gate sizing, and assignment of supply and threshold voltages - Power gating design automation to reduce leakage - Relationships among statistical timing, power analysis, and parametric yield optimization Design examples illustrate that these techniques can improve energy efficiency by two to three times. 

 Overview of the Factors Affecting the Power Consumption -- Pipelining to Reduce the Power -- Voltage Scaling -- Methodology to Optimize Energy of Computation for SOCs -- Linear Programming for Gate Sizing -- Linear Programming for Multi-Vth and Multi-Vdd Assignment -- Power Optimization using Multiple Supply Voltages -- Placement for Power Optimization -- Power Gating Design Automation -- Verification For Multiple Supply Voltage Designs -- Winning the Power Struggle in an Uncertain Era -- Pushing ASIC Performance in a Power Envelope -- Low Power ARM 1136JF-S Design.
