PVT Sensor TSMC 40G

Overview

The PVT Sensor is an IP block which monitors chip Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) providing a high accuracy measurement result. The sensor consumes little power when operating and, low leakage when disabled. The block includes a convenient output data interface. The block is powered from the core and I/O supply voltage.

Key Features

  • High precision, trimmed and untrimmed
  • Low operational power, low leakage
  • Simple digital interface
  • Temperature alarm function with self-clock monitoring function

Benefits

  • PVT sensor conveniently monitors on-chip temperature, voltage of critical nodes and the power supply, and transistor parameters.

Applications

  • Any ASIC in TSMC 40G process

Deliverables

  • LEF View
  • Verilog (.v)
  • Liberty file (.lib)
  • GDSII
  • CDL/Spice netlist for LVS
