Overview
HCLTech Offers IP Process Monitor IP (hcl_procmon_t40_v2) consists of three ring oscillators namely RVT Ring Oscillator, Thick oxide Ring Oscillator, & HVT Ring Oscillators. In RVT Ring Oscillator the MOS is of regular threshold Voltage, in thick oxide Ring Oscillator MOS of is of thick oxide & in HVT ring oscillator the MOS is of high threshold voltage. The frequency of specific ring oscillators dictates the process of the device, indicating whether it operates under a fast, typical, or slow process. In this IP block Resistor and Capacitor Segments have been added for measuring the process of the Resistor and the Capacitor.
Key features
- Monitors process of Regular threshold voltage (RVT), Thick oxide (TD), High threshold voltage (HVT) devices. It monitors the process of Resistor and Capacitor as well.
- Digital supply Voltage range is from 0.9V to 1.1V, typical voltage is 1V.
- Temperature range is from -40°C to 125°C, typical temperature is 27°C.
