An advantage of a RLD such as an FPGA is that it can be customized after being manufactured. However, there is a problem related to standby power when using it in SoC used in embedded systems. Power gating, which is one of the power reduction techniques, is difficult to use in SRAM-based RLDs because of the high overhea and SRAM being volatile.
In this paper, we describe a chip that we developed --- a reconfigurable
logic chip based on FeRAM technology. The chip uses a variable grain logic cell as a logic block. A NV-FF (Non-Volatile FlipFlop), which contains FeRAM, a FF, and power-gating control circuits, is used as
configuration memory. The NV-FF can transmit data between FeRAM and FF automatically when power to the chip is turned off/on. The hibernate/restore time is less than 1 ms. The chip has 18 $\times$ 18 logic blocks and an area of 54.76 mm$^2$. |
