Abstract :
In this paper, we present the first TAM optimization technique for multi-Vdd SoCs. The proposed method exploits unique scheduling opportunities and flexibility offered by TDM, and by the means of a very efficient Branch-&-Bound approach it quickly identifies the most effective TAM configurations. Experiments upon an industrial SoC highlight the benefits of the proposed technique on multi-Vdd designs.
