Abstract
A complete embedded microprocessor system was designed and implemented to demonstrate the processor system design methodology described in the previous chapters. By combining Dynamic Voltage Scaling with energy-efficient architecture and circuit design, the system is able to demonstrate more than an order of magnitude improvement in energy efficiency over more conventionally implemented designs.
