Technology Forum and Luncheon: Low Power Design

技術論壇及午餐座談會：低功耗設計

Power consumption has become a key issue that concerns electronic product providers. A confluence of many factors – the rapid growth of wireless devices, increasing power density of wireline devices, environmental regulations and competitive pressures - is making power a critical issue that must be dealt with aggressively at all levels of the semiconductor supply chain.

功耗為電子產品廠商的首要議題，引響範圍所及，包含無線裝置的快速成長、增強連線裝置的功率密度、環境條例及競爭壓力等，正是全體半導體供應鏈亟需共同面臨的挑戰。

Several leading suppliers and customers in the semiconductor industry have joined together to address this challenge. At the luncheon, executives from several leaders of the global semiconductor industry will discuss how they are working within their company and in collaboration with others to deliver advanced low power solutions.

半導體領先的廠商及客戶端即將同台共同討論此議題。在此座談會中，來自全球半導體產的各大領導廠商代表，將分享他們如何執行並與其他公司合作所提出的先進低功耗解決方案。

Technology Forum and Luncheon: Low Power Design

Moderator

Susan Runowicz-Smith, Group Director Business Enablement/ Power Forward Initiative Coordinator, Cadence

Abstract :

Low-power design is moving from early adopter phase into mainstream adoption. There are number of factors driving this change, first it was a must have for extending battery life for mobile applications, next process technology caused some inherent issues and opportunties to utilize increased integration efficiently, and now the economic need to reduce power consumption in all wired electronic devices is driving a massive shift. To be competitive on the world market, today’s electronic products must be power-efficient. The mushrooming demand for more electricity to drive electronic products is putting a strain on world markets and the use of oil to generate electricity is impacting the environment. In crisis there is opportunity and the electronics industry is stepping up to meet the challenge to make electronics power-efficient. The panelists will discuss how their business is growing to accommodate the design of more power efficient electronics.
