---|---|---|
This session focuses on circuits that detect and adapt to various types of process-voltage-temperature-aging (PVTA) variations, along with the latest progress in digital low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulators. The presented adaptive circuits demonstrate rapid and accurate voltage-droop detection to perform instruction throttling, clock period stretching via use of a critical-path replica within the phase-locked loop (PLL) and (buck) voltage regulator, and closed-loop continuous-body-bias for temperature, process, and aging compensation. There are five digital LDO papers that introduce a range of new techniques, such as an analog-assisted NMOS power transistor, a beat-frequency-based adaptive-sampling scheme, and the replacement of traditional power-transistor devices with a switched-capacitor resistor. These papers also describe a distributed LDO array that improves IR drop and response time, as well as an LDO that is designed to minimize pass-through of voltage ripple from a preceding switching regulator. |
