    摘要: A processing system includes a processor core, a peripheral component, and a flip-flop unit in at least one of the processor core and the peripheral component. The flip-flop unit can include a master latch, and two slave latches coupled to an output of the master latch. The first slave latch is formed over a first doped well region of a semiconductor substrate. The second slave latch is formed over a second doped well region of the semiconductor substrate. A comparator is coupled to an output of the first slave latch and to an output of the second slave latch. An output of the comparator indicates whether a state stored in the first slave latch is the same as a state stored in the second slave latch.

    摘要: A method of making a first timing path includes developing a first design of the first timing path with a first logic circuit and a first functional cell, wherein the first functional cell comprises a first transistor that is spaced from a first well boundary. The timing path is analyzed to determine if the first timing path has positive timing slack. If the analyzed speed of operation shows positive timing slack, the design is changed to a modified design to reduce power consumption of the first timing path by moving the first transistor closer to the first well boundary. Also the first timing path is then built using the modified design to reduce power consumption of the first timing path by reducing leakage power consumption of the first transistor.

    摘要: A body bias control circuit including an output coupled to provide a bias voltage to a body terminal. The body bias control circuit is configured to change the bias voltage from a first bias voltage to a second bias voltage over a period of time in which a magnitude of an effective rate of change of the bias voltage varies over the period of time. For voltages between the first and second bias voltages closer to a source voltage, the magnitude of the effective rate of change is smaller than for bias voltages between the first and second bias voltages further from the source voltage.
