A Brief Run-Down: The Low Voltage Version Of The Athlon-XP-M, Continued. a light notebook for a light pocketbook. The 3150P is OEM vendor Averatec's ultra-portable notebook with WLAN (802.11b) for a little more than US$1000. This "half-pint" had to square off...

• -A Brief Run-Down: The Low Voltage Version Of The Athlon-XP-M

a so-called Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) CPU in its TX series units, in this case, the Pentium M 753 ULV model. This processor is rated for maximum power consumption of only 5 W, thanks to its input voltage of less than 1V and its maximum CPU clock rate of only...

This acronym is short for Intel Mobile Voltage Positioning. A diagram best explains how IMVP works. Usually, the voltage regulators that deliver the supply voltage for the CPU work statically, i.e., the supply voltage VCC remains constant within a tolerance...

called leakage. A technique to combat this leakage is to apply a bias voltage to the transistor, which effectively increases the transistor's threshold voltage. This technique of applying extra voltage is called back bias; the greater the voltage, the less...

turns on, the draw caused by its motor may produce a momentary dip in the line voltage, followed by a spike as the power comes back up. Thunderstorms are also notorious for the voltage spikes that they cause. A momentary dip in current can cause the voltage...

90-nm process. The new fabrication technology lets the CPU run with lower operating voltage, which has a positive effect on power consumption. Speaking of operating voltage - on the Pentium M, each of the Speedstep increments have one voltage/frequency pair,...

Powerplay provides dynamic voltage and frequency modulation, which reduces power consumption. Powerplay features clock speed and voltage scaling, and these are separate from the already integrated clock gating with support for more than thirty branches. Powerplay...
