摘要

本文提出了一种CMOS 40nm微控制器，其中首次使用堆叠电压域。该系统采用ARM Cortex M0+处理器、4kB ROM、16kB SRAM、外设和片上开关电容稳压器(SCVR)。通过使用电压堆叠，测试芯片实现了最先进的(96%)功率转换效率，根据负载电流的不同，功率节省从23%到63%，而电源电压变化从5.6mV降低到3.8mV (RMS)。

A microcontroller with 96% power-conversion efficiency using stacked voltage domains

This paper presents a CMOS 40nm microcontroller where for the first time, stacked voltage domains are used. The system features an ARM Cortex M0+ processor, 4kB ROM, 16kB SRAM, peripherals, and an on-chip switched-capacitor voltage regulator (SCVR). By using voltage stacking the test chip achieves state-of-the-art (96%) power-conversion efficiency and observed power savings run from 23% to 63% depending upon the payload current, while supply voltage variations are reduced from 5.6mV to 3.8mV (RMS).
