Advancements in nano-scale Integrated Circuits manufacturing technology has resulted in variability of performance metrics. The performance parameters such as Power and Delay are no longer represented deterministically. As a result, circuit designers and manufacturers need to make use of statistical analysis to estimate performance of Integrated Circuits. In this paper we present a new methodology...
Designing MOS decoupling capacitors (DECAPs) in nanotechnologies provides many challenges due to the existing trade-offs among transient time response behavior, area, and gate leakage current. In this paper first it is shown that all of these challenges are functions of the MOS DECAP channel length. Then, we propose a method for optimizing the channel length of MOS DECAPs. The technique is applied...
In this paper, a low-power high-performance logic style for low-voltage CMOS technologies is presented. The style is based on modifying a high-speed yet low-power logic family called feedthrough logic (FTL) style which has been previously proposed in the literature. The proposed style which is called parallel FTL (PFTL) overcomes the shortcoming of the FTL for low-voltage applications. To assess the...
In this paper, we propose low power and robust 6T SRAM cells. The cells are based on the Vt-control of the cross-coupled inverters of the SRAM cell to reduce leakage power when SRAM is in the idle mode. Using the Vt-control method along with the built-in feedback leads to increasing the SNM. In comparison to a previous work, our schemes have a higher static noise margin (SNM) and lower standby power...
