OverviewThe Digital Integrated Circuits and Systems Group is involved with the design and implementation of various integrated systems ranging from ultra low-power wireless sensors and multimedia devices to high performance processors. The research spans across multiple levels of abstraction ranging from innovative new process technologies and circuit styles to architectures, algorithms, and software technologies. A key focus of this group is developing energy efficient integrated solutions for battery operated systems. |
Portable Multimedia GroupThe MIT Portable Multimedia Group (PMMG) is exploring power reduction techniques at various design stages (algorithms, architectures and circuits) of the video CODEC. An effective method of reducing power involves the combination of aggressive voltage scaling and increased parallelism and pipelining to maintain performance. Additional architectural optimizations for power reduction such as reducing memory accesses and multiple frequency/voltage domains are also investigated. Sub-Threshold Circuits GroupThe MIT Sub-Threshold Circuits Group explores energy-efficient techniques that take advantage of sub-threshold operation. The group's work span different levels of abstraction, from analyzing the optimal energy point of a given system, modeling energy characteristics of sub-threshold circuits, to developing circuit styles for logic and memory elements that operate at ultra-low voltages.
