Abstract :
A low-power microcontroller is designed in 0.10/spl mu/m body-tied SOI CMOS technology by reusing existing design resources developed in 0.18/spl mu/m bulk CMOS. Only two new masks are needed for this work. The performance is evaluated by simulations and indicates operation at 400MHz with 183mW dissipation at 0.8V and represents a five-times improvement in power-delay product.
