Process/Voltage/Temperature Sensor (Supply voltage 3.3V/1.2V)

Overview

PVT Detector is a unique solution intended to continuously monitor IC status at several on-die locations. It is able to detect manufacturing process deviation, perform voltage and die temperature measurement. PVT detector consists of PVT module, voltage/temperature sensor units and trimming units. PVT module is a calculation center that contains process detector units and two embedded voltage/temperature sensor units (the first one is connected to AVDD and the second one – to DVDD). Also it is able to maintain up to 14 external voltage/temperature sensor units.
