ULP Clock-Generator - GLOBALFOUNDRIES 22FDX

Overview

ABB-enabled, All-Digital PLL clock generator for ultra-low power clocking in highly energy efficient Systems on Chip

The Racyics® Ultra-Low Voltage Clock Generator is targeted at Systems on Chip (SoCs) employing advanced power management techniques. The robust, fully digital architecture allows operation in a wide voltage and frequency range. Unique fast lock and instant frequency change features maximize the energy efficiency of the targeted systems.

Key Features

  • The fully digital architecture allows operation from 0.4 to 0.8V and from 20 Mhz up to 1 GHz.
  • Very energy efficient, especially at low supply voltages: Only 100pW power consumption for a 100 MHz output clock at 0.5V
  • A custom DCO allows fast lock-in and instant frequency changes during operation through direct tuning value calculation and without additional. hardware
  • The Racyics® ABB enabled implementation reduces jitter at low supply voltages

Deliverables

  • Verilog simulation models
  • .lib/.db timing and power models (NLDM)
  • .lef layout abstract views
  • Milkyway database
  • GDSII files
  • LVS netlist
