We designed a soft error rate (SER) tolerant latch utilizing local redundancy. We implemented a test chip containing both the standard and SER-tolerant latches in a 90-nm dual-V/sub T/ CMOS process. Accelerated measurements with a neutron beam at Los Alamos National Laboratory demonstrated 10/spl times/ better reliability of the SER-tolerant latch over the standard latch at no speed degradation. The worst case energy and area penalties were 39% and 44%, respectively. Both the energy and area penalties are negligible for standard-latch transistor sizes at least double the minimum width. We analyzed the effects of the recovery time, threshold voltage assignment, and leakage on the SER robustness. The proposed latch can improve reliability of critical sequential logic elements in microprocessors and other circuits.

We propose an on-chip 1.8 V-to-0.9 V DC-DC converter aimed to reduce the input current and decoupling requirements of future microprocessors. By utilizing a 90-nm CMOS process, employing a four-phase hysteretic control, and operating at ultra-high frequency of 480-MHz, we achieved a 10% output droop with only 2.5 nF of on-chip decoupling, for 0.5 A of load current. No off-chip decoupling was connected to the output. At 480 MHz the measured efficiency was 72%. At 250 MHz, the efficiency improved to 76% at the cost of a 17% droop or larger decoupling of 11.5 nF. A converter with 100 A rating would require a capacitor of 0.5 /spl mu/F, which is comparable to the size of an on-chip capacitor of a typical microprocessor.

A router chip, that incorporates on-chip forward body biasing capability with 2% area overhead, achieves 1 GHz operation at 1.1 V supply in a 150 nm logic technology, compared to 1.25 V required for the original design having no body bias. Switching power is 23% less and chip leakage is reduced by 3.5/spl times/ in standby mode by withdrawing forward bias.

Soft error rate measurements for flip-flops on two testchips in 180nm and 130nm logic technologies show that using forward body bias improves alpha SER by 35% and neutron SER by 23%, while applying reverse body bias degrades SER by 9% to 36%. Body bias impact on SER remains virtually unchanged with technology scaling.
