Abstract:Bio-Implantable Microsystems such as the cardiac pacemaker, retinal and neural implant provides substitute for a missing biological part, support an impaired biological structure or even upgrade the existing biological system. These microsystems require ultra-low power miniature integrated circuit technology for long term reliable operation. For energy constraint applications like the implantable devices, the performance requirement are secondary factors while energy efficiency, low power, high density and hig… Show more
“…MTCMOS [6] provides circuit designers with more opportunities to optimize circuits in performance, power and energy. In general, higher vth-devices are employed in noncritical paths for reducing power while lower-vth devices are adopted in critical paths for achieving higher performance.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
