Optimizing power consumption in microelectronics for portable devices
Author(s): Li Wei and Chen Ming
Abstract: The growing demand for high-performance portable electronic devices has intensified the need for energy-efficient microelectronic systems that can operate within strict power and thermal constraints. This research focuses on optimizing power consumption through a multi-layer approach integrating low-power circuit design, Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS), and intelligent power gating techniques. Experimental evaluation using a structured testbed demonstrated significant power and energy reductions averaging 28-34% across light, mixed, and heavy workloads without compromising throughput or performance stability. Additionally, temperature rise was reduced by up to 5 °C, resulting in improved battery life and enhanced operational reliability. Statistical analysis confirmed the robustness of the findings, showing strong significance in power and energy reduction with minimal performance impact. By combining hardware-level energy-saving methods with adaptive workload management, this study provides a scalable and effective solution for energy optimization in portable devices. The findings offer valuable insights for device designers and manufacturers, enabling the development of longer-lasting, thermally efficient, and performance-sustaining portable electronics. This integrated optimization strategy can serve as a practical framework for future generations of mobile, wearable, and IoT devices, supporting increased computational demands without proportionally increasing energy consumption.
