Abstract

A novel on-chip variability and aging sensor has been designed for robust generation of a voltage guard band in high-K/metal gate technologies. It is the first single sensor solution that is capable of guard-banding for both NBTI and PBTI effects. It offers the SoC the capability to dynamically adjust the on-chip guard-band for joint power-reliability optimization.
