2 Overview Where does the power go? From your smartphone to the cloud Why is transistor variability important? Billions of very small transistors Little things matter a lot What can be done now? Reduce transistor variability Improve existing mainstream CMOS IC technology 2 BEES_roro_G_ Copyright 2011 SuVolta, Inc. All rights reserved.
3 Semiconductor Industry Energy efficiency and power are now the dominant issues Mobile electronics everywhere We are all affected by the limited battery life Computing in the cloud Where Internet searches take place and voice recognition processes your speech Power ~ CV 2 f + IV Switching/active power Leakage/static power To lower power, Voltage (V = V DD ) needs to be decreased 3 BEES_roro_G_ Copyright 2011 SuVolta, Inc.

4 Let s Look at a Real Chip: AMD Bulldozer Memory/SRAM 50% chip area Leakage power dominant Digital logic 40% chip area At full speed active (switching) power dominant At reduced speed static (leakage) power dominant Analog I/O 10% chip area (periphery) Always drawing current in the on state Billions of transistors Transistor variability impacts dynamic, leakage, and analog power Source: 4 BEES_roro_G_ Copyright 2011 SuVolta, Inc.

5 [#Transistors] [Leakage Power] Impact of Transistor Variability: Leakage High leakage tail dominates power 2.7x higher power (85mV subv T slope) High leakage tail High V T tail Slows down ICs Transistor variability is reflected in threshold voltage (V T ) distribution Leakage current is exponentially dependent on V T Lower V T variability (sv T ) reduces number of leaky low V T devices Power dissipation is dominated by low V T edge of distribution Smaller sv T Less leakage power for digital and memory/sram 5 BEES_roro_G_ Copyright 2011 SuVolta, Inc.

6 [NCP] Impact of Transistor Variability on Digital Logic (A) (C) (D) (B) Delay [ps] ICs have thousands of timing critical paths (A) Varying for each part due to transistor variability Slowest path determines chip frequency (B) Lower variability results in tighter distribution and faster chips (C) Reduce V DD to match worst case speed (D) Large effect on active power as it is proportional to V 2 6 BEES_roro_G_ Copyright 2011 SuVolta, Inc. All rights reserved.
7 Lowering V DD in ICs Traditional CMOS IC technologies are stuck around 1V V DD for the last 10 years Typical voltage scaling limited to 0.9V (10%) Minimal benefit for overhead and risk Lowering V DD is limited by SRAM/Memory Built using 6-T(ransistor) SRAM cells using billions of the smallest transistors Transistor matching critical for functionality Transistor mismatch causes SRAM failures Cell cannot be written (write margin) Cell cannot be read (read margin) Cell is too slow (read current) Reducing transistor variation will lower minimum V DD 7 BEES_roro_G_ Copyright 2011 SuVolta, Inc. All rights reserved.
8 Impact of Transistor Variability in Analog Analog & Mixed Signal circuits 10% of area in digital SOC (mostly I/O) Up to 50% or more area in analog chips Focus on matching transistors Differential pair, current mirrors, etc. Reducing relative variability by making transistors bigger Larger transistors have higher parasitic capacitances limiting performance Larger transistors require higher power Lower variability transistors enables Area savings Higher performance Lower power SuVolta sample layout 8 BEES_roro_G_ Copyright 2011 SuVolta, Inc.
