Presentation Transcript

  1. Very low voltage 16-bit counter in high leakage static CMOS technology Colin Stevens Low Power Electronics Elec6270 Instructor-Vishwani d. Agrawal

  2. Theory and Simulation • .18µm TSMC process in Design Architect • Vth NMOS: .3725v / Vth Pmos: -.3948 • |Vtp| + Vtn = .7673V • 90 ns transient analysis Using ELDO • Waveform Viewing in EZWAVE

  3. Counter Selection • Asynchronous • Advantages • Simple Design • Utilizes Clock Gating • Fast for small counters • Disadvantages • Ripple Effect • Delay Grows with Counter Size • Synchronous • Advantages • No Ripple Effect. Delay of all outputs are equal. • Disadvantages • More Logic Required • Flip Flops are clocked even when no transition is required

  4. Synchronous Counter

  5. EZWAVE Vdd = 1.2V

  6. Power, Delay, and Frequency

  7. Log Display and Power Delay Product

  8. Results 90ns Transient analysis

  9. Sub-threshold Results

  10. Optimizations and Conclusions • Potential Optimization • Low threshold gates could be used along the critical path of and gates to make the circuit faster at lower voltages. • Conclusions • Tradeoff between power and delay for a given circuit. • I would like to have gotten the predictive models to work.
