Flex Power FPGA that is FPGA with power reconfigurability aims at the reduction of static power. The reduction of off current in which the static power originates in Flex Power FPGA depends on both the variation width of an off current of MOSFET when the body bias voltage is applied and the fraction of MOSFET with low threshold voltage in a circuit. In the recent years, two or more fabrication processes are prepared in a technology node to satisfy the severe demands on the operational specifications such as a faster operating frequency and lower power consumption in the various target applications. In addition, two or more kinds of MOSFET with a different characteristic exist in each process and the integrated circuit can be designed by selectively using these MOSFETs. And, the behavior of the change in an off current when the body bias voltage is applied to these MOSFETs is different respectively. In this paper, Flex Power FPGA is fabricated by the low power 90nm CMOS process where the variation width of an off current by the applying of the body bias voltage is larger and the off current reduction is evaluated. |
