Title
A 130-nm Ferroelectric Nonvolatile System-on-Chip With Direct Peripheral Restore Architecture for Transient Computing System
Abstract
Owing to its unique capability to sustain computation progress over power outages, a nonvolatile processor (NVP) is promising for energy-harvesting-powered Internet-of-Things devices. However, the widespread application of NVP is continually blocked by the system integration issues and the configuration overheads of peripheral devices. This paper presents a nonvolatile system-on-chip (NVSoC) with improved integration level, power management flexibility, and system wake-up speed. An on-chip power management subsystem is designed to minimize the number of external components while supporting versatile power policies. And a direct peripheral restore architecture is outlined, which enables a fast and parallel re-configuration of peripheral devices after the resumption of power supply. A test chip is fabricated in a 130-nm ferroelectric-CMOS process with 22.09-mm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> area.
