摘要: In some embodiments, the invention involves a die having a first conductor carrying a power supply voltage and a second conductor carrying a ground voltage. A semiconductor capacitor operating in depletion mode is coupled between the first and second conductors to provide decoupling capacitance between the first and second conductors, the semiconductor capacitor having a gate voltage. Various configurations may be used including: n+ gate poly and n+ source/drain regions in an n-body; p+ gate poly and n+ source/drain regions in an n-body; p+ gate poly and p+ source/drain regions in an n-body; p+ gate poly and p+ source/drain regions in a p-body; n+ gate poly and p+ source/drain regions in a p-body; n+ gate poly and n+ source/drain regions in a p-body. The power supply voltage may have a larger absolute value than does a flatband voltage.

摘要: Sequential circuits with error-detection are provided. They may, for example, be used to replace traditional master-slave flip-flops, e.g., in critical path circuits to detect and initiate correction of late transitions at the input of the sequential. In some embodiments, such sequentials may comprise a transition detector with a time borrowing latch.

摘要: A method is described comprising conducting a first current through a switching transistor. The method also comprises conducting a second current through a pair of transistors whose conductive channels are coupled in series with respect to each other and are together coupled in parallel across the switching transistor's conductive channel. The second current is less than and proportional to the first current.
