The basic description for use of IEEE Excess Funds

The IEEE Life Time Member Excess Funds project that our Lifetime Member Group proposed Is “Novel means of power reduction in VLSI semiconductor chips” Proposed by me, Hayden Cranford (Clay) – Region 3.

The co-leader on the project will be Sebastian Ventrone – Region 2, and James Mason – Region 8. We requested $31000 for the project. Having multiple regions represented increases the likelihood of approval. It is in the review process now.

Stated purpose: Improve the power efficiency of electronic
Electronics Consume > 25% of the world’s Electricity
Electronics efficiencies can be measured in the single digits
Constant DC Leakage
Wasted AC power

We desire to provide
Circuits to reduce power
Design Techniques to improve efficiency
