System designers using commercial processors often wish to embed more processing capabilities in their application, while their authorized power budget may be limited by the project requirements & specifications.
This paper starts by detailing some of the constraints given to system designers in terms of power consumption in commercial processors used in Aerospace & Defense (including, but not limited to Safety-Critical Systems), then it dives into the different contributions of the total power consumption of a device.
Finally, it explains in detail where Teledyne e2v is helping customers to reduce the power consumption on Microprocessors. Teledyne e2v illustrates the theory with a case study on how it was able to reduce, on an Aerospace system, the power consumption by 46% on an NXP T1042 Quad Core Power Architecture Microprocessor at 125ºC and in worst-case conditions.
