Temperature-aware circuit design using adaptive body biasing

Published: 11 March 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Due to continuously increasing active power dissipation die temperatures exhibit significant spatial and temporal variability. Targeting the worst-case temperature is not optimal as performance will be lost for non-worst cases. This paper proposes a temperature-adaptive body bias technique that can dynamically recover this lost performance. Two applications are described that demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed technique.
