Overview

003TSMC_PVT_01 IP library 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, current and die temperature measurement.  

PVT Sensor IP library consists of three main parts: 

  • VT module as a calculation center for voltage and temperature measurements. It is able to maintain up to 16 on die voltage/temperature units to be put on over the die. Grape-like connection is intended for easy routing and sensors placement 
  • Voltage/Temperature sensor of two type: from 0.5V to 1.1V and from 1.0V to 1.65V; 
  • Process detector module includes process units, dedicated for process variation elicitation of transistors with different threshold voltage types: Ultra Low VT, Low VT, Standard VT and 1.2V IO transistor, and voltage/temperature sensor units. Also Process detector module embeds one VT sensor unit. 

Glitch detector mode allows to monitor and detect rapid fluctuations of voltage and temperature.  

Stand-alone calibration system together with dedicated interface is embedded to the VT module for ability to calibrate temperature measurements independently from VT module operation.  

Power-On-Reset circuit in implemented to monitor core voltage VDD 0.5V to 0.8V to generate resetting signals in SOC during power supply ramp up and ramp-down as well as POR for IO voltage reset signal

Silicon area: 0.024mm2 for VT module, 0.0017mm2 for Process detector unit; 0.0004mm2 for sensor units
