ASPIDA Measurements
*Performance results
–Synchronous: 52 MHz
–De-Synchronized: all chips worked above 63 MHz
–~20% Lower-power through Voltage Scaling!
*Power results
–Scaling: 200 mW (50 MHz) dropped to 98 mW (30 MHz)
–Chips could scale down to 0.95 V (250 KHz), well beyond allowed voltage
*EME reduction
–30 dB (average)
–50 dB (max)
–EME measurements were done using a TEM cell to guarantee accuracy
