This VOPT is determined on the basis of a trade-off between power consumption and delay time. Experimental results with a 90-nm CMOS device indicate that the proposed circuit successfully determines VOPT within 3% of actual minimum energy consumption. VOPT operations with power gating at 40 MHz, and where VDD=0.67 V, results in an energy reduction of 52.8% over that achieved with DVFS alone at 5 MHz (1/20 of maximum operational frequency).","PeriodicalId":261092,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Symposium on VLSI Circuits","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124800390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Its advantages include: 1) Having a flexible, digitally programmable capacitance multiplication factor; 2) Not using op-amps, which reduces the noise contribution and is beneficial in aggressively scaled CMOS technology; and 3) Lowering cost through capacitance area reduction. At 800 MHz, a PLL using this technique consumes 3.3 mW from a 2.5 V supply and achieves <0.5% TOSC RMS jitter. Its performance is comparable to the state-of-the-art while occupying only 125 mum times 100 mum, roughly 1/18 to 1/2 the area reported in recent publications.","PeriodicalId":261092,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Symposium on VLSI Circuits","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115574863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The frequency division mode switching allows the loop bandwidth switching to be performed in a more digital fashion which increases the degree of design freedom for bandwidth switching.
