In the operating process of reality of the present invention, the present invention can enter according to different supply voltages different mode of operations.When the superthreshold pattern, logic switch S0 turn-offs, and therefore is configured in high impedance status at Three-State.At this moment, power switch transistor P4 and N4 open, and logic switch S1, S2 shutoff, be connected to Vdd so be conditioned the PMOS transistor body end of digital circuit unit, and NMOS pipe transistor body end are connected to gnd.Circuit of the present invention is when the subthreshold value pattern, and logic switch S0 opens, the tristate buffer normal operation, and under this pattern, logic switch S1, S2 open, and transistor P4 and N4 turn-off.Therefore, the output voltage V body of this buffering area provides the body bias of Digital Logic through S1, S2.
Specific works principle simple in structure, high performance configurable threshold voltage balancing circuit of the present invention is as follows:
In preamble, the present invention is the importance of clear and definite balance PMOS and nmos pass transistor threshold voltage.Consider that PMOS pipe threshold voltage Vthp is by different doping process control with NMOS pipe threshold voltage Vthn, the present invention utilizes transistorized bulk effect to adjust transistorized threshold voltage biasing.The adjustment principle of the threshold voltage that Fig. 2 shows, wherein V BPAt the transistorized bias voltage of PMOS, V BNVoltage is the bias voltage of NMOS pipe.
A simple threshold voltage balancing that the present invention proposes is referring to Fig. 1.The supply voltage of considering the subthreshold value circuit design is all the time less than | V Th|, junction diode can not be opened, and the uneven detector of threshold voltage is comprised of the inverter that PMOS pipe and NMOS pipe all turn-off.Under typical process angle (TT), the output signal Vout of the uneven detector of threshold value and the output signal Vbody of tristate buffer are designed to Vdd/2 in advance.Vout fluctuates with the variation of flow-route and temperature, tristate buffer detects and the amplification Vout amplitude of oscillation, its output signal Vbody provides the offset body that is conditioned digital circuit unit voltage, this adjusted value can feed back to the PMOS pipe of the uneven detector of threshold value and the body end of NMOS pipe, further impels the uneven detector of threshold value to adjust PMOS/NMOS pipe threshold voltage Vth balance.For example, if the pull-down capability of NMOS network greater than drawing ability on the PMOS network, Vout will descend, and cause larger Vbody and descend.This decline will cause that the Vth of NMOS increases and the Vth of PMOS reduces, and alleviates the threshold voltage imbalance that process deviation causes.Through configuration, the design's threshold voltage balancing circuit can support the super wide voltage from normal power voltage to subthreshold value supply voltage convergent-divergent to regulate.
A, superthreshold operation
When the superthreshold pattern, logic switch S0 turn-offs, and therefore is configured in high impedance status at Three-State.At this moment, power switch transistor P4 and N4 open, and S1, S2 shutoff, so the digital circuit unit PMOS transistor body end that is conditioned is connected to Vdd, and NMOS pipe transistor body end is connected to gnd.Therefore configurable threshold voltage balancing circuit simple in structure, high performance of the present invention can not have a negative impact to the superthreshold performance of system.
B, subthreshold value operation
When the subthreshold value pattern, logic switch S0 opens, the Three-State normal operation.Under this pattern, logic switch S1, S2 open, and transistor P4 and N4 turn-off.Threshold voltage balance detection device is surveyed current threshold voltage mismatch situation, and the size that is converted into the Vout signal is exported, tristate buffer is accepted the input of Vout signal, and with the signal shaping amplification, the Vbody signal of output provides the body bias that is conditioned digital circuit unit through logic switch S1, S2 at last.For example, when the threshold voltage of NMOS hour, the magnitude of voltage of Vout can descend, and then causing the larger decline of Vbody value through after the amplification of tristate buffer, the threshold voltage rising that bias voltage descends and causes the NMOS pipe, the threshold voltage of PMOS pipe descends, and unbalanced like this threshold voltage is compensated.It should be noted that the necessary carefully size of design logic switch S 0, S1, S2 size is so that their equivalent conducting resistance Ron is enough little in order to avoid larger transistor voltage drop.What it must be admitted that is that less Ron has also improved the settling time of system.In the subthreshold value zone, the same transistorized equivalent conducting resistance Ron of scale becomes hundreds of times to its size in the superthreshold zone.If still adopt the PMOS transistor as the supply voltage switching transistor, it is very large that its size must arrange, and the area that brings thus and power consumption penalty will be that the designer is intolerable.Because nmos pass transistor has better current characteristics than PMOS transistor, the excessive driving transistors of grid terminal voltage of its raising, Ron and transistorized area just can greatly reduce, and have avoided simultaneously transistorized current potential to descend.Therefore, in design of the present invention, the small size NMOS that adopts grid to overdrive, the grid terminal voltage that improves here is to obtain from other high voltage.
The present invention ξ=(V Out-V Dd/ 2)/V DdCharacterize Vth uneven, Vout is the uneven detector output of threshold voltage, referring to content shown in Figure 1.That is ξ is the degree that Vout departs from Vdd/2, and obviously, ξ is larger, and the Vth imbalance is larger.Fig. 3 has showed that existing design and the present invention adopt the fluctuation range of the threshold voltage of design under 3 σ process deviation conditions of threshold voltage balancing to compare.From figure, can obviously find out, after the employing threshold voltage balancing, be confined to a tighter zone after the threshold voltage imbalance of PMOS and nmos pass transistor.The more important thing is the circuit of expense for only being formed by three negligible inverters of design of the present invention, successful, cost is little.During system, can copy this scheme at whole chip block as required, to reduce in the wafer process deviation to the impact of system performance.
For further verifying the validity of the threshold voltage balancing that the present invention proposes, the below describes as an example of a inverter example, and the breadth length ratio of this inverter is as follows: (W/L) p/ (W/L) n=(280nm/120nm)/(200nm/120nm).Table 1 shown under the same conditions, with threshold voltage balancing and the minimum power supply voltage, that can not work with this inverter under the threshold voltage balancing condition.
The minimum power source voltage of table 1 130nm CMOS inverter
Figure BSA00000411249500061
Obviously, the minimum power source voltage value with the threshold voltage balancing is starkly lower than the minimum power source voltage value of not being with the threshold voltage balancing.The main cause that causes this phenomenon is that the introducing of threshold voltage balancing is so that the V of inverter Thn'+Δ Thn=-(V Thp'+Δ Thp), as long as and then satisfy supply voltage
Figure BSA00000411249500062
Inverter can work.When being the threshold voltage balance of PMOS and nmos pass transistor, required supply voltage value is minimum.
It is the main cause that causes thrashing that the gate transmission delay fluctuates with the impact of process deviation.The present invention investigate respectively as an example of inverter example equally with the threshold voltage balancing and not with same process deviation under the threshold voltage balancing condition on the impact of gate transmission delay.
Fig. 4 has represented (W/L) p/ (W/L) n=(1100nm/120nm)/(400nm/120nm) inverter considers when supply voltage is 200mV between wafer in the deviation and wafer under the condition of deviation, drives the transmission delay of a 5fF capacitive load.Can know discovery from figure, than original design, after the introducing threshold voltage balancing, inverter transmission delay standard deviation sigma has reduced by 4.7 times, and coefficient of variation σ/μ has reduced by 3.6 times.
