摘要
We propose a new fully-integrated forward body bias (FBB) generator that holds its voltage constant relative to the (scalable) power supply of a digital IP. The generator is modular and can drive distinct digital IP block sizes in multiples of up to 1mm(2). The design has been implemented in 90nm low-power CMOS. Our basic unit for driving digital IP blocks up to 1mm(2) occupies a silicon area of 0.03mm(2) only. The generator completes a 500mV FBB voltage step within 4 mu s. The bandwidth of the design is 570kHz. The active current of the FBB generator alone is about 177 mu A for a nominal process, 1.2V supply and 85 degrees C. The standby current is as low as 72nA at 27 degrees C.
