Ultra‐Low‐Power Process/Voltage/Temperature Monitor on TSMC 7nm FFC
The ODT-PVT-ULP-001C-7T is an ultra-low power temperature, voltage and process monitor designed in a 7nm CMOS process.
Overview
The ODT-PVT-ULP-001C-7T is an ultra-low power temperature, voltage and process monitor designed in a 7nm CMOS process. This IP operates over the entire temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.
The temperature monitor achieves ±4C temperature accuracy without trim and ±1C temperature accuracy after a single room temperature trim. The voltage monitor supports four differential or singleended inputs with a voltage range up to ±1.5V.
A one shot mode allows user to initiate an ondemand temperature or voltage measurement. When not operating, the entire block enters a low power standby mode.
The included process monitor provides information on process variation of core P, N as well as I/O P, N MOS devices in an easily readable digital format.
