A 52.4mW 3D Graphics Processor with 141Mvertices/s Vertex Shader and 3 Power Domains of Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling

A 3D graphics processor fabricated using 0.18mum 6M CMOS contains 1.57M transistors and 29kB SRAM in a core size of 17.2mm
²
. The vertex shader utilizes a logarithmic number system for 141 Mvertices/s and the 3 power domains are controlled separately by dynamic voltage and frequency scaling for 52.4mW at 60fps.
