Hi, greetings, i thank you for your valuable suggestion .i am planning to do few topics on low power VLSI systems with performance oriented.basically my idea is to optimize power and performnce of portable,mobile,wireless devices. could you suggest me where should i start from what are the useful tools that i can work on, can electric help me doing these,looking forward for your valuable suggestions.
