Powering mini-computer systems

Tackling the challenge of power consumption on miniaturized computer systems, researchers at the University of Michigan College of Engineering have designed a 1 cubic millimeter circuit that can power itself. U-M scientists, including Electrical Engineering and Computer Science professors Dennis Sylvester and David Blaauw, hope to make the sensors in volume at the U-M and disseminate them to other researchers in an effort to open up new areas of application.

ABOUT THE PROFESSORS: Professors Dennis Sylvester and David Blaauw work in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at the University of Michigan. Their work in the VLSI Design/Automation Lab includes very-large-scale integration (VLSI) circuit design and electronic design automation (EDA) with particular emphasis on adaptive and low power design.
