Summary :

This paper describes the effects of operating temperature on delay time in a 1-V multi-threshold CMOS(MTCMOS) circuit, Delay-time analysis including the temperature factor shows that the delay-time variation of the CMOS circuit becomes amall for low-voltage operation and the variation is mainly determined by the threshold voltage and its variation-rate with temperature. As a design method of a MTCMOS circuit with both high-threshold and low-threshold MOSFETs, optimization of the low-threshold voltage at which the delay-time of the circuit is independent of operating temperature is described in detail. The validity of the design method is confirmed by the evaluation of a gate-chain TEG and a 1-V 12 K-gate digital-filter LSI fabricated with o.5-µm MTCMOS technology.
