A new hierarchical cell SRAM architecture, combined with a multi-step word-line control technology, has been developed to overcome rapid increase in random variability with no area-penalty. A 40nm-node 0.248 μm2-cell SRAM using a single power supply has been successfully fabricated, pushing up bit-density to 2.98Mb/mm2.
This document presents a compilation of results from tests performed by iRoC Technologies on SER induced by alpha particles on SRAM memories for technology nodes from 180 nm to 65 nm. The aim of this study is to establish the variation of sensitivity with technology node for SEU and MCU, and to analyze the possible influence of different designs and technological parameters at a given technology node.
The implementation of complex functionality in low-power nano-CMOS technologies leads to enhance susceptibility to parametric disturbances (environmental, and operation-dependent). The purpose of this paper is to present recent improvements on a methodology to exploit power-supply voltage and temperature variations in order to produce fault-tolerant structural solutions. First, the proposed methodology...
While the CMOS analog circuits can be designed with the minimum-gate-length of the fabrication process in the alpha-power law MOSFET model, the length of a MOSFET gate has been chosen to be a larger scale than the minimum-gate-length in the conventional Shockleypsilas square model. In this paper, we describe a 6-b 100 MSPS CMOS current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with the alpha-power...
A high bandwidth critical path monitor (1 sample/ cycle at 4-5 GHz) capable of providing real-time timing margin information to a variable voltage/frequency scaling control loop is described. The critical path monitor tracks the critical path delay to within 1 FO2 inverter delay with a standard deviation less than 3 FO2 delays over process, voltage, temperature, and workload. The CPM is sensitive...
The imaging laser radar is fine measure equipment for TAN with the ability to get the high precision 3D terrain. A 3D terrain matching processor was needed to be designed for the specifical application. In this paper, base on the specialty of the imaging laser radar, the3D terrain matching processor was designed, with scheme of DSP+FPGA calculating engine, multi-level memory system, flexible parallel...
