Robust Subthreshold Circuit Design to Manufacturing and Environmental Variability
نویسنده
چکیده
Subthreshold circuits are drawing attention for ultra-low power application. However, subthreshold circuits have inherent problems that their performance is extremely sensitive to manufacturing and environmental variability and they are susceptible to soft errors. This paper reviews characteristics and problems of subthreshold circuits, and discusses some works for improving the robustness of subthreshold circuits from device, circuit and CAD perspective.

A Robust Model for a Dynamic Cellular Manufacturing System with Production Planning
In this paper, a robust optimization approach is proposed to design a dynamic cellular manufacturing system (DCMS) under uncertainty of processing time of products. In addition, a mathematical model considering cell formation, inter-cell design and production planning under a dynamic environment (i.e., product mix and demand are changed in each period) is presented. Therefore, reconfiguration b...

The delivery time and the quality in the procurement and low fluctuation of t...
متن کاملA Variability-Aware Energy-Minimization Strategy for Subthreshold Circuits
We investigate a design strategy for subthreshold circuits focusing on energy-consumption minimization and yield maximization under process variations. The design strategy is based on the following findings related to the operation of low-power CMOS circuits: (1) The minimum operation voltage (VDDmin ) of a circuit is dominated by flip-flops (FFs), and VDDmin of an FF can be improved by upsizin...

متن کاملFlexible Circuits and Architectures for Ultralow Power A programmable gate array optimized for ultralow-power operation
| Subthreshold digital circuits minimize energy per operation and are thus ideal for ultralow-power (ULP) applications with low performance requirements. However, a large range of ULP applications continue to face performance constraints at certain times that exceed the capabilities of subthreshold operation. In this paper, we give two different examples to show that designing flexibility into ...
