Process-voltage-temperature (pvt) Variations and Static Timing Analysis

چکیده
The major design challenges of ASIC design consist of microscopic issues and macroscopic issues [1]. The microscopic issues are ultra-high speeds, power dissipation, supply rail drop, growing importance of interconnect, noise, crosstalk, reliability, manufacturability and the clock distribution. The macroscopic issues are time to market, design complexity, high levels of abstractions, reuse, IP portability, systems on a chip and tool interoperability.

A gate-delay model focusing on current fluctuation over wide range of process-voltage-temperature variations
This paper proposes a gate-delay model suitable for timing analysis that takes into consideration wideranging process–voltage–temperature (PVT) variations. The proposed model translates an outputcurrent fluctuation due to PVT variations into modifications of the output load and input waveform. After translation, any conventional model can compute delay taking into account PVT variations by usin...

متن کاملDynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling for Power- Constrained Design using Process Voltage and Temperature Sensor Circuits
In deeply scaled CMOS technologies, two major non-ideal factors are threatening the survival of the CMOS; i) PVT (process, voltage, and temperature) variations and ii) leakage power consumption. In this paper, we propose a novel postsilicon tuning methodology to scale optimum voltage and frequency “dynamically”. The proposed design technique will use our PVT sensor circuits to monitor the varia...

A process, voltage and temperature (PVT) sensors with dynamic voltage selection are proposed for environmental management in the ultra-low voltage dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) system. The process and voltage (PV) sensors initially monitor the process variation. With known process information, PV sensors can real-time provide voltage variation status.
