Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) LSI has been developed by miniaturization, but the increase in leakage power caused by it has become a problem. Non-volatile power gating (NVPG) using a Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) is one of techniques for reducing leakage power. Two Step Store (TSS), which is one of the NVPG control methods and executes short store and then executes long store only for those elements that could not be written, is a method for improving process variation, temperature change, and probabilistic effects of MTJ. Energy can be greatly reduced when the shortest store success time differs from cell to cell depending on behavior. However, the characteristics of the optimal store time that minimizes the total store energy under TSS control have not been clarified. In this study, we clarify the physical and statistical parameters that affect the optimal store time, and compare and evaluate using real silicon chips.
