Abstract

Although subthreshold circuits are promising for creating ultra-low power VLSI circuits, they suffer from greatly reduced I_ON/I_OFF ratios when compared to their high voltage counterparts. Fortunately, an analytical model to guide design and ensure robust subthreshold operation is now available. The model closely matches simulation results. It is shown to allow analysis of maximum fan-in/out at fixed supply voltage V_DD or to determine the minimum allowable V_DD given the circuit fan-out.
