Abstract:
This presentation describes a framework to perform timing sensitivity evaluation of building blocks of design-dependent timing monitors due to process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations. Design dependent timing monitors collectively monitor the timing of a chip. With the purpose of optimizing the existing design-dependent ring oscillators, analysis of sensitivity data is done and some results are demonstrated.
