Overview
The 3.3V 100MHz Oscillators library provides a 100 MHz crystal oscillator macro I/O cell. An adapter cell is included to utilize this oscillator with libraries based on the 1.8V pad ring bus structure.
The 22nm libraries are available in inline and staggered CUP wire bond implementations with a flip chip option.
To utilize these cells in the pad ring, an additional library is required – 3.3V Support: Power. That library contains the DVDD/DVSS power cells necessary for ESD protection, the POC and VREF cells, and a rail splitter to isolate the oscillator in its own power domain as recommended. It also contains an input-only buffer, isolated analog I/O, and a full complement of power cells along with corner and spacer cells to assemble a complete pad ring by abutment. The rail splitter allows multiple power domains to be isolated in the same pad ring while maintaining continuous VDD/VSS for robust ESD protection.

In this paper, we present a flexible ring oscillator IP designed for a 40nm CMOS technology, whose oscillation frequency can be chosen from 200kHz to 20MHz. It was developed using a new design approach, in which analog IPs are designed from scratch to be flexible, employing modular blocks that can be easily customized. The IP is silicon proven. It works with a supply voltage of 1.2V and features 5% frequency accuracy, occupying an area of 0.0022mm2.

How do you ensure that every part of a system receives the clock it needs—without wasting power or sacrificing performance? The answer lies in creating a well-structured frequency plan built around a PLL.
Agile Analog’s tamper detection IP is a comprehensive set of sensors and monitors designed to detect a wide variety of physical attacks and side-channel attacks (SCAs). T
Unfortunately, precise thermal monitoring reached an inflection point at 2nm, with traditional solutions proving less practical below 3nm. To tackle the issue, this article delves into a novel approach, accurate to ±1.0°C, that overcomes this critical challenge.
