This study presents a robust design of a trigger pulse generator that produces trigger pulses of variable widths/durations that are tuned using an external control as per the requirements. The proposed design comprises two elementary modules: a delay element and an XOR circuit. The proposed circuit is implemented using a 16 nm CMOS technology node and simulation results have been verified using the SPICE simulator. Various performance parameters such as power consumption, power delay-product, energy-delay product and impact of key circuit parameters [supply voltage ( V _DD ), channel length ( L g), gate width ( W g), channel doping concentration ( N _A ), oxide thickness ( T _OX ), threshold voltage ( V _T ) and carrier mobility ( µ _o )] on the duration of trigger pulses have been studied in-depth and performance parameters are compared with circuits already available in the literature. The proposed circuit produces trigger pulses of a minimum width of 191.3 ps at a nominal supply of 1.0 V with an average power consumption of 160 nW. The width of the trigger pulses can be varied from 191.3 to 457.2 ps using an external control from 1.0 to 0.7 V, respectively, at 16 nm technology node.

触发脉冲发生器的变化弹性可靠设计

这项研究提出了一种触发脉冲发生器的稳健设计，该发生器可以产生宽度/持续时间可变的触发脉冲，并根据需要使用外部控制装置对其进行调谐。所提出的设计包括两个基本模块：延迟元件和XOR电路。所建议的电路是使用16 nm CMOS技术节点实现的，并且使用香料模拟器。各种性能参数，例如功耗，功率延迟乘积，能量延迟乘积以及关键电路参数[电源电压（ V _DD ），频道长度（ 大号 g），浇口宽度（ w ^ g），沟道掺杂浓度（ ñ _A ），氧化物厚度（ Ť _OX ），阈值电压（ V _T ）和载流子迁移率（ μ _o ）]对触发脉冲的持续时间进行了深入研究，并将性能参数与文献中已有的电路进行了比较。所提出的电路在1.0 V标称电源下产生的最小宽度为191.3 ps的触发脉冲，平均功耗为160 nW。使用外部控制，在16 nm工艺节点处，触发脉冲的宽度可以分别从191.3 ps改变到457.2 ps，而从1.0 V改变到0.7V。
