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.

Bio: Borivoje Nikolic is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley and a Scientific Co-Director of Berkeley Wireless Research Center.  He has received a Dipl. Ing. and M.S.E.E. degrees from the University of Belgrade, Serbia, and a Ph.D. degree from the University of California at Davis.
