Adaptive body biasing process compensation techniques for Digital circuit
نویسنده
چکیده
The present invention relates generally to the integrated circuits(ICs) & in particular to process, voltage & temperature(PVT) variations in an ICs. PVT variations are critical factor that hamper performance of Ics forexample PVT variations can result in a change in setup &hold times of synchronous circuits. Different components of asynchronous circuit are driven by a common system clock. Therefore any change in setup or hold times corresponding to any one component causes an erroneous circuit ouput.one technique to reduce PVT variations in a circuit isbased on sensing the variations in the circuit &then taking the appropriate action to reducethese variations.

Low-Voltage Process-Compensated VCO with On-Chip Process Monitoring and Body-Biasing Circuit Techniques
A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) tolerant to process variations at lower supply voltage was proposed. The circuit consists of an on-chip threshold-voltage-monitoring circuit, a current-source circuit, a bodybiasing control circuit, and the delay cells of the VCO. Because variations in low-voltage VCO frequency are mainly determined by that of the current in delay cells, a current-compensat...

In a never-ending effort to reduce power consumption and gate oxide thickness, the integrated circuit industry is constantly developing smaller power supplies. Furthermore, in an effort to reduce costs and integrate analog and digital circuits onto a single chip, MOS devices are used in the weak inversion region or the subthreshold inversion region to minimize dc source power. A feasible config...
متن کاملReliable Minimum Energy CMOS Circuit Design
Low voltage operation can markedly reduce the energy requirements of digital circuits; however, in the face of variability it also greatly reduces the reliability and yield. In order to mitigate this effect, device dimensions can be increased and adaptive body biasing can be employed, but at the cost of potentially increasing energy per operation. This paper presents a new framework for determi...
