    摘要: A programmable logic device (PLD) includes mechanisms for adjusting or setting the body bias of one or more transistors. The PLD includes a body-bias generator. The body-bias generator is configured to set a body bias of one or more transistors within the programmable logic device. More specifically, the body-bias generator sets the body bias of the transistor(s) so as to trade off performance and power consumption of the transistor(s).

    摘要: The size of an internal void in an electrically conductive lead is measured by determining its electrical resistance at a plurality of A.C. frequencies, ranging from D.C. to a frequency on the order of 50 to 100 GHz at which the majority of current flows along the skin of the lead. The test data is compared with reference data for an electrically conductive reference lead having characteristics which are essentially similar to the test lead. The difference between the two sets of data increases with the size of an internal void in the test lead. The difference will be greatest at D.C. because the current will flow through substantially the entire cross-section of the lead and the cross-sectional area will be reduced by the internal void. The test data will approach the reference data as the frequency increases because the majority of the current will flow through the skin of the test lead and will be less affected by the internal void. The surface roughness of a lead caused by surface voids is measured by determining its electrical resistance at a frequency high enough that the majority of the current flows through the skin of the lead. The distance at which the surface current flows, and thereby the resistance of the lead, increase with the surface roughness.

    摘要: An integrated circuit (IC) includes mechanisms for adjusting or setting the gate bias of one gate of one or more multi-gate transistors. The IC includes a gate bias generator. The gate bias generator is configured to set gate bias of one gate of the one or more multi-gate transistors within the IC. More specifically, the gate bias generator sets the gate bias of the transistor(s) so as to trade off performance and power consumption of the transistor(s).

    摘要: Integrated circuit standby power consumption may be reduced using a reverse-bias transistor control arrangement that reduces transistor leakage current. Integrated circuit transistors may be turned off using a reverse bias voltage rather than a ground voltage. A charge pump circuit on the integrated circuit may be used to generate the reverse bias voltage. The reverse bias voltage may also be provided from an external source. The integrated circuit may be a programmable logic device in which logic is configured by providing programming data to configuration cells. The configuration cells may be used to apply either a positive power supply voltage to a given transistor to turn that transistor on or to provide the reverse bias voltage to that transistor to turn that transistor off.
