All-Digital Ring-Oscillator-Based Macro for Sensing Dynamic Supply Noise Waveform

Abstract: Abstract-This paper proposes an all-digital measurement circuit called a "gated oscillator" to capture the waveforms of dynamic power supply noise. An improved gated oscillator with a power-gating structure is also proposed. The gated oscillator is constructed using standard cells, and thus is easily embedded in SoCs. Its performance was evaluated using test chips fabricated in a 90 nm process. The gated oscillator achieved 5.3-5.9 Gsample/s with an area of 10.08 6.72 m 2 , and the improved power gating struct… Show more

“…The shift registers store configurations of the TEGs. The counter used in the waveform sampling macro [6] is also included in the shift resistors. This macro called "gated oscillator" is a ring-oscillatorbased circuit but it captures dynamic noise waveforms thanks to intermittent operation at the timing of interest.…”

“…The switch for power gating is repeatedly turned on and off in every 50 nano seconds (10MHz). Due to the limitation of the noise measurement macro [6], a slower operation is difficult. Since the power gating period of 50 nano seconds is not long enough to discharge the capacitance in gated NS, we gave a pulse to make gated NS run during the period of power gating and discharged the capacitance.…”
