Abstract:We present a test chip architecture which embeds a thorough set of process characterization ring oscillators into a synthesized digital circuit, such as a processor core. We discuss the motivation, implementation, and results from sub-40nm technology silicon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
