Achieving Your Low Power Goals with Synopsys Ultra Low Leakage IO White Paper

The “Achieving Your Low‑Power Goals with Synopsys Ultra‑Low‑Leakage I/O” white paper explains why GPIO leakage has become a critical contributor to total SoC power as process geometries shrink. In battery‑driven devices, where hundreds of GPIOs may sit idle for long periods, leakage power can dominate standby consumption. This paper shows how ultra‑low‑leakage GPIO designs help extend battery life while supporting the performance requirements of modern mobile, AI, and sensing applications.

What You Will Learn:

• Why IO leakage grows exponentially with technology scaling
• How GPIO leakage multiplies across large SoC pad rings
• How ultra‑low‑leakage GPIOs reduce standby power by orders of magnitude
• Why low‑power IOs are essential for battery‑operated devices
