Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A digital monitor for measuring a temperature and a voltage of VLSIs is proposed. The monitor can derive measurement results in real time, because the measurement time of the monitor is shorter than that of conventional monitors using analog circuits. Moreover, there is an advantage that the proposed monitor can be placed close to the circuit under test such as a CPU. This paper discusses temporal and spatial variations in the on-chip temperature and voltage which are measured using the monitor. Then, this paper discusses the need of the digital monitor, which is a full digital design, short time measurement and a small chip area, using a fabricated test chip with 180 nm CMOS technology.
