名词解释:
HVT = High V threshold. Can be used in the path where timing is not critical. So by using HVT cells we can save power.
HVT的功耗最低,但时序最慢。
LVT - Low V threshold. One should use these cells in timing critical paths. These cells are fast but , comsumes more power due to its leakage. So it will consume more power. So use only when timing is critical.
LVT的功耗最高,但时序最快。
SVT- Standard V threshold. Best of both world. Medium delay and medium power requirment. So if timing is not met by small magin with HVT, you should try with SVT. And at last LVT.
RVT- Regular V threshold. Another name for SVT.
SVT和RVT是同样的cell不同的专业名词。功耗和时序介于LVT和HVT。
阈值电压越低,因为饱和电流变小,所以速度性能越高;但是因为漏电流会变大,因此功耗会变差。
速度大小按快到慢依次排列为SLVT, LVT, RVT, HVT。功耗大小却正好相反。即HVT的cell其阈值电压最大其掺杂浓度越高,其泄露功耗最小;
对于NPN的晶体管是n型半导体,其导电是电子,P衬底多子是空穴,掺杂越高电子越少,越难以导电,阈值电压上升,泄露功耗变少。
对于PNP晶体管是P型半导体,其导电是空穴,N型衬底是电子,掺杂越高空穴越少,越难以导电。
总结 1:
HVT --> Higher threshold Voltage --> More Delay, for IR drop issue use the HVT cells.
LVT --> Lower threshold Voltage --> Less Delay, for best timing use the LVT cells.
总结 2:
总结 3:
interesting question : hvt/svt/lvt哪种cell的面积最小 ?-> the same.
