There are various circuits for extracting threshold voltage (Vth) of CMOS transistors. In this work, we have introduced an energy-efficient threshold voltage extractor with high precision and extended long-term variations. Considering fabrication prohibits, a switched capacitor (SC) has been used instead of a high resistive poly resistor. In order to reduce the power consumption of the Vth extractor, the circuit operates in the burst-mode (energy-efficient). Also, to reduce the glitches in the structure of the SC, a 3rd-order low-pass filter and a replica branch are used. Furthermore, the flipped voltage follower (FVF) structure extends threshold voltage variations over time to measure Vth aging via reasonable resolution data converters. The circuit has been evaluated using 65nm standard CMOS model. The range of Vth variations over 180 months is between 239.4mV and 278.9mV, which is equivalent to a 16.5% change. The power consumption of the entire circuit is less than 11 nW. This circuit is a good candidate to function as a benchmark for the efficiency of high-reliability circuits and aging sensors.

具有脉冲模式操作和使用FVF扩展的长期变化的节能阈值电压提取器

有多种用于提取阈值电压的电路 VŤHCMOS晶体管。在这项工作中,我们推出了一种具有高精度和扩展的长期变化的节能阈值电压提取器。考虑到制造禁止,已使用开关电容器(SC)代替高电阻多晶硅电阻器。为了减少功耗VŤH提取器,电路工作在突发模式(节能)。另外,为了减少SC的结构中的毛刺,使用了三阶低通滤波器和副本分支。此外,翻转电压跟随器(FVF)结构可扩展阈值电压随时间变化以进行测量VŤH通过合理分辨率的数据转换器进行老化。该电路已通过评估65岁ñ标准CMOS型号。范围V 180个月之间的变化介于 239.4V278.9V,相当于变化16.5%。整个电路的功耗小于11ñw ^。该电路非常适合用作高可靠性电路和老化传感器效率的基准。
