Process/Voltage/Temperature Sensor (Supply voltage 3.3V/0.9V)

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 as a calculation center with embedded process detector units, and voltage/temperature sensor units. PVT module is able to maintain up to 16 external voltage/temperature sensor units of two types: for Core voltage measurement from 0.65V to 1.15V and for IO voltage measurement from 2.0V to 3.6V.
