Abstract(in English) A 300MIPS/W RISC core processor with variable supply-voltage (VS) scheme in variable threshold-voltage CMOS (VTCMOS) is presented. From a 3.3V extemal supply the VS scheme automatically generates minimum internal supply voltages which can meet the demand on its operation frequency. This chip needs only 3.3V power supply, but low-power operation can be achieved by lowering the supply-voltage with on-chip DC-DC converter. Performance in MIPS/W can be improved by a factor of more than two with no modification in the RISC core except substrate contacts for the VICMOS. It is also demonstrated that the VS scheme is immune from supply-voltage fluctuations.
