ICs with Zero standby power consumption, soon

Off means off and electronic circuits are about to learn that the hard way! Too long have electronics drawn current even while the device claims to be off.
 

A new innovation in electronic circuit and IC design by Rohm Co Ltd, Japan, has yielded mechanisms which allow ICs to truly consume no energy when inactive, and not only than, come back from standby immediately! Such ICs could be entirely off when no signal is present yet immediately start operating when a signal is present.
