First, the existence characteristics of the optimal supply voltage for a single task are proved, which suggests that the optimal supply voltage for the single task should be selected only within a one-dimensional term, and the corresponding task end time by the optimal supply voltage should be identical with its deadline. Then, it is pointed out that the minimum energy consumption that the DVS policy can obtain when completing a single task is certainly lower than that of the dynamic power management （DPM） policy or the combined DVS＋DPM policy under the same conditions. Finally, the theorem of energy consumption minimization for a multi-task group is proposed, which declares that it is necessary to keep the processor in the execution state during the whole task period to obtain the minimum energy consumption, while satisfying the deadline constraints of any task.展开更多

Many studies have suggested that various advanced electronic measurement apparatuses require that the delay circuit should have a high precision and a short delay interval. Practically, however, such measurement apparatuses are low in preci- sion and long in delay interval at present. The structure and function of a data acquisition system is introduced first; then the principle of ramp-based precision delay circuits and the digitally programmable delay generator is studied and the precision delay circuit is designed. The authors also demonstrated 8-bit programmable delay circuits with a timing pre- cision of 10 ps. Therefore the programmable precision delay circuit here presented has a higher precision, shorter inter- val and more detectable function than any other precision delay circuit.展开更多
