Summary :

Environmental power generation devices such as solar cells are used as power sources for IoT devices. Due to the large internal resistance of such power source, LSIs in the IoT devices may malfunction when the LSI operates at high speed, a large current flows, and the voltage drops. In this paper, a standard cell library of stacked structured cells is proposed to increase the delay of logic circuits within the range not exceeding the clock cycle, thereby reducing the maximum current of the LSIs. We show that the maximum power consumption of LSIs can be reduced without increasing the energy consumption of the LSIs.
