Power/performance optimization through continuously variable temperature-based voltage control
Abstract:
Methods determine temperature and voltage relationships for integrated circuit library elements to produce a continuous temperature-voltage function. Some of the library elements can be used or combined to form an integrated circuit design. Further, the performance characteristics for integrated circuit chips produced according to the integrated circuit design can be defined, such performance characteristics include an operating temperature range, etc. The continuous temperature-voltage function is applied to the performance characteristics to determine a plurality of temperature/voltage combinations for the integrated circuit chips. Each of the temperature/voltage combinations comprises an operating voltage for each operating temperature within the operating temperature range of the integrated circuit chips. Next, the integrated circuit chips are produced according to the integrated circuit design. The temperature/voltage combinations are recorded in memory of the integrated circuit chips.
