New Medical Device Chip Uses Less Power

DALLAS - Texas Instruments Inc. engineers and MIT researchers say they've designed a new chip that consumes less power and can be used in devices as varied as medical implants and sensors that detect enemy tanks. The research was funded by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. The design would allow chips to run on 0.3 volts instead of the 1-volt level of most current chips.
