Abstract

A power management technique utilizing a method for accurately and rapidly estimating the change in the statistical distribution of data at each block in a communication system leading to or originating from a memory that is experiencing voltage scaling induced errors is disclosed. An appropriate memory supply voltage that maximizes power savings is found by exploiting the available SNR slack while keeping system performance within a required margin.
