Title
Optimally mitigating BTI-induced FPGA device aging with discriminative voltage scaling (abstract only)
Abstract
With the CMOS technology aggressively scaling towards the 22nm node, modern FPGA devices face tremendous aging- induced reliability challenges due to Bias Temperature In- stability (BTI) and Hot Carrier Injection (HCI). This paper presents a novel antiaging technique at logic level that is both scalable and applicable for VLSI digital circuits implemented with FPGA devices. The key idea is to prolong the lifetime of FPGA-mapped designs by strategically elevating the VDD values of some LUTs based on their modular criticality values. Although the idea of scaling VDD in order to improve either energy efficiency or circuit reliability has been explored extensively, our study distinguishes itself by approaching this challenge through analytical procedure, therefore able to maximize the overall reliability of target FPGA design by rigorously modelling the BTI-induce de- vice reliability and optimally solving the VDD assignment problem.
