A switched-capacitor voltage regulator (SCVR) that dithers flying capacitance (C$_textrmFLY$) to reduce output ripple is presented. The proposed technique is implemented in a 40-phase SCVR with 4b C$_textrmFLY$ modulation in 65nm CMOS. At 2.3V input, …
We propose Bubble Razor, an architecturally independent approach to timing error detection and correction that avoids hold-time issues and enables large timing speculation windows. A local stalling technique that can be automatically inserted into …
A true random number generator (tRNG) is proposed that, for the first time, uses the random physical process of time to oxide breakdown under voltage stress. Time to breakdown is repeatedly measured with a counter and serialized into a bitstream. The …
