    Abstract: A pipelined processor including a combinational logic of several stages, a voltage regulator, a counter, a comparator, and a plurality of stage registers. Each stage register is disposed between two adjacent stages of the combinational logic. The stage register includes a flip-flop, a latch, an XOR gate, and a MUX module. When the high level of a register clock is coming, the flip-flop latches first data at the rising edge, and the latch receives second data during the high level. The data latched by the flip-flop and the latch respectively are compared by the XOR gate. If they are same, the output Error of the XOR gate is low level, and the output of the flip-flop is delivered to the next stage. Otherwise, the output Error of the XOR gate is high level, and the output of the latch is delivered to the next stage.

    Abstract: A resistorless CMOS low power voltage reference circuit is provided. The start-up circuit is used to prevent the circuit to stay in the zero state and stop working when the circuit gets out of the zero state. The self-biased VPTAT generating circuit generate the voltage VPTAT which has positive temperature coefficient. The square-law current generating circuit generates a square-law current which is proportional to μT2 through the VPTAT. Finally, the reference voltage VREF is obtained by introducing the square-law current into the reference voltage output circuit. The reference voltage VREF of this application can realize approximative zero temperature coefficient in the temperature range of −40° C.˜100° C. This application improves temperature characteristic which may be poorer due to temperature nonlinearity of carrier mobility based on the traditional subthreshold reference. This application can reduce the power consumption from μW level to nW level and realize low power consumption.
