In this paper, we study the advantages offered by multi-gate fin FETs (FinFETs) over traditional bulk MOSFETs when low standby power circuit techniques are implemented. More precisely, we simulated various vehicle circuits, ranging from ring oscillators to mirror full adders, to investigate the effectiveness of back biasing and transistor-stacking in both FinFETs and bulk MOSFETs. The opportuni...

Standby techniques are used to improve system availability. Usually, a k-out-of-n:G standby system is assumed that when an operating component fails, a standby component becomes active and the system is working if at least k components are fault-free. In general, there are three types in component standby, i.e., cold, hot and warm standby. Cold standby implies that inactive components have a ze...

Abstract— This paper presents a new tracking circuit design without standby leakage current issue for 2.5V/3.3V tolerant I/O buffer, which is suitable for the I/O cells in the mixedvoltage applications with different driving capabilities. One set of mixed-voltage I/O cell with the new proposed 2.5V/3.3V tolerant I/O buffer circuit has been designed and drawn in a 0.13-μm salicided CMOS process....

This paper presents dynamic standby control (DSC) with voltage keeper for further standby power reduction. As compared to the reported DSC, the new modified DSC can be kept deeply cut-off with negative overdrive voltage as well. Besides, a bootstrapped voltage keeper directly recharges the boosted node of power gate, which prevents leakage current during the recharging period. However, total st...

Problem statement: Many authors have studied k-out of-n repairable system with dependent failure and standby support. The question was raised whether the repair and standby units support increase the reliability of the system. Determine the efficiency of repair and standby support on the reliability of the system. Approach: In this study the statistical analysis of k-out of-n repairable system ...

Disaster recovery planning and securing business processes against outtakes have been essential parts of running a company for decades. As IT systems became more important, and especially since more and more revenue is generated over the Internet, securing the IT systems that support the business processes against outages is essential. Using fully operational standby sites with periodically upd...

This paper is devoted to researching the routing reliability and router standby mechanism for smart and cooperation network. The method of updating and initiating the standby router has been also provided. With the aid of virtual interface, both the main router and standby router will be transparent to the network. Through Mini-Net simulated experiment, this paper has verified the mechanism. It...

High availability (HA) is critical for many stream processing applications such as financial data analysis and disaster response. Existing HA schemes use either active standby or passive standby to guard the system against unexpected failures such as machine crash. Despite previous efforts of simulation-based studies that report active standby is superior, there is a lack of in-depth understand...
