Process/Voltage/Temperature Sensor (Supply voltage 3.3V/1.2V)

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 VT module as a calculation center for voltage and temperature measurements, Process detector with process units, and voltage/temperature sensor units. VT module is able to maintain up to 15 external voltage/temperature sensor units of two types in any variations: from 1.08V to 1.32V (SU_12) and from 2.25V to 3.6V (SU_33) voltage measurement ranges.
