This event is part of NMI's Chip Design Network.

With the continuing demand for ‘greener’ products, energy efficiency is a must – and not just for portable/handheld devices. The silicon at the heart of all electronic systems plays a significant part in their energy consumption with the potential for increased efficiency to enable product differentiation in a crowded market.

Using case studies and expert contributors, this event will look at the latest design techniques that enable improved energy efficiency in the silicon while considering the ‘system’ drivers which also influence power consumption.

As with all NMI Network events, in addition to the presentations and discussion sessions, there will be ample opportunity to meet and network with attendees from a wide variety of organisations.
