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
What’s Included?
- LEF View
- Verilog (.v)
- Liberty file (.lib)
- GDSII
- CDL/Spice netlist for LVS
