Whereas it is tempting to focus mainly on minimizing the first pull-in voltage (Vpi) in order to enable a low VDD, special attention should be paid to the so-called catastrophic pull-in (Vcpi), which corresponds to the movable electrode collapsing onto the actuating electrode for a sufficiently large overdrive. Based on analytical and finite element analysis (FEA) modeling, we study the dependence of a functionality margin defined as (Vcpi-Vpi) versus the size and position of the actuating electrode with respect to the movable structure.","PeriodicalId":382735,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on IC Design and Technology (ICICDT)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127777139","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}

An important question in DVFS is how to change the voltage and frequency adaptable to the required performance of the system at run-time while reducing the power consumption as much as possible. Another problem is how a tool could quickly and efficiently validate or reject a NoC architecture employing DVFS. By integrating the Orion 2 power model, VNOC 2.0 simulator can be used as either a NoC simulation tool or a platform for implementing and investigating DVFS ideas. In this paper, we focus on developing a new solution for NoC architectures to save energy using fuzzy-logic algorithms. A controller is designed to predict the change of traffic load based on the fuzzy logic algorithm, then adjusts the voltage and frequency correspondingly to minimize the power consumption while keeping the performance of the whole system. An estimation of power consumption has been done by using VNOC 2.0 simulator. The simulation results show that our model can save up to 46% the power consumption of a 8×8 NoC.","PeriodicalId":382735,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on IC Design and Technology (ICICDT)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124433764","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}

Yield is shown to be delimited by the Parallel-to-AntiParallel magnetic angle transitions. To accommodate for the slower cells, we note an increase in the average energy requirements for the backup mechanism. Simulations indicate an increase of 10%–40% for the average energy requirements to achieve an ideal yield requirement close to 99% for different number of components.","PeriodicalId":382735,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on IC Design and Technology (ICICDT)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130849570","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}

This enhanced model takes into account the impacts of parametric variabilities of CMOS and MTJ devices and the chip operating temperature. It is also calibrated with Monte-Carlo Simulations based on macro-magnetic and SPICE models, covering five technology nodes between 22nm and 90nm.
