摘要
In this work, novel configurations of rarely switching ULSI I/O circuits, which provide a "refresh" operation allowing for temporal bias removal without any changes in the logic state or electrical characteristics of these circuits, are presented. This bias removal significantly reduces the aging of the circuits and allows for the lessening of design timing margins, thus reducing the overall design costs.
