This brief presents the unique capabilities of the multimode Dual Mode Logic (DML) design technique to define run-time adaptive datapaths to overcome process and environmental (i.e., temperature and voltage) variations. A proof-of-concept benchmark circuit is designed and fabricated in 65 nm technology. Measurements on 10 test chips, while considering supply voltages spanning 0.6V to 1.2V and temperature variations ranging from -40 °C to 125 °C confirm the effectiveness of this approach to compensate for severe process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations.

Abstract

This brief presents the unique capabilities of the multimode Dual Mode Logic (DML) design technique to define run-time adaptive datapaths to overcome process and environmental (i.e., temperature and voltage) variations. A proof-of-concept benchmark circuit is designed and fabricated in 65 nm technology. Measurements on 10 test chips, while considering supply voltages spanning 0.6V to 1.2V and temperature variations ranging from -40 °C to 125 °C confirm the effectiveness of this approach to compensate for severe process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations.
