Significance of output:
This paper describes a new hardware technology for reducing the standby power of embedded microprocessors, used in battery-powered digital devices. The technology has been developed collaboratively between academics in Southampton University and Engineers at ARM, Cambridge.
The technology has already been prototyped successfully in a number of ARM microprocessors and there is a plan for this technology to go into production from 2014 into various ARM processors.
