考虑输入占空比和随机性的M-IVC缓解电路老化

Mitigating Circuit Aging by M-IVC Considering Input Duty Cycle and Randomness

  • 摘要: 针对现有多输入向量控制(M-IVC)缓解负偏置温度不稳定性(NBTI)引起的电路老化的方法仅考虑到输入信号占空比约束的问题,提出一种同时优化输入信号占空比和随机性的M-IVC方法.首先采用遗传算法求解出电路的最优输入占空比;然后在最优占空比约束下产生具有随机性的各输入信号波形;最后构成多输入控制向量,依次应用到待机模式下电路的输入.采用相同的晶体管工艺模型和ISCAS85基准电路的实验结果表明,与现有M-IVC方法相比,文中方法能更好地缓解电路NBTI老化;可降低电路平均老化时延增量,分别达到45.9%和32.7%;而且随着电路待机时间的增加,该方法的抗老化效果变得越好.

     

    Abstract: Multiple input vectors control(M-IVC) can be used to mitigate NBTI induced circuit aging. However, it only considered the duty cycle constraint of input waveform. In this paper, a new M-IVC method concurrently considering duty cycle and randomness of input waveform is proposed. Firstly, the optimal duty cycle for each circuit input waveform is obtained by genetic algorithm, and then under the constraint of the optimal duty cycle, the waveform for each of the circuit inputs is generated randomly, which are used to obtain the required input control vectors. Finally, these input control vectors are applied to the circuit when it is in standby mode. Experimental results on ISCAS benchmark circuits with the same circuit aging model show that, compared with the existing M-IVC methods, the circuit delay increment due to aging can be reduced by 45.9% and 32.7% on average. And the effectiveness using our scheme to mitigate aging is getting better as the ratio of standby time to active time increasing.
