A scalable performance 32 b microprocessor

A RISC microprocessor core in a six-layer metal 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS process implements the ARM/sup TM/ V.5TE instruction set. The microprocessor core is 16.77 mm/sup 2/ and dissipates 450 mW at 1.3 V, 600 MHz, scaling between 55 mW, 0.7 V and 200 MHz, and 1.55 W at 1.65 V and 800 MHz.
