This talk will present the design of an energy efficient design of a microprocessor based on an open Berkeley RISC-V architecture. To enable agile dynamic voltage and frequency scaling with high energy efficiency, the design implements an integrated switched-capacitor DC-DC converter. A custom-designed SRAM-based cache operates in a wide 0.45-1V supply range. A test chip has been implemented in 28nm fully-depleted SOI technology and is presently being tested.
