    摘要: A system and method for determining a guard band for an operating voltage of an integrated circuit device are provided. The system and method provide a mechanism for calculating the guard band based on a comparison of simulated noise obtained from a simulation of the integrated circuit device using a worst case waveform stimuli with simulated or measured power supply noise of a workload/test pattern that may be achieved using testing equipment. A scaling factor for the guard band is determined by comparing results of a simulation of a workload/test pattern with measured results of the workload/test pattern as applied to a hardware implementation of the integrated circuit device. This scaling factor is applied to a difference between the noise generated through simulation of the workload/test pattern and the noise generated through simulation of the worst case current waveform to generate a guard band value.

    摘要: A thermoelectric material has a Heusler alloy type crystal structure and is based on an Fe2VAl basic structure having a total number of valence electrons of 24 per chemical formula. The thermoelectric material has a structure expressed by General Formula Fe2V1−ZAl1+Z, where 0.03≦z≦0.12, or General Formula Fe2V1−ZAl1+Z, where −0.12≦z≦−0.03, by controlling its chemical compositional ratio. The former acts as a p-type material and has a Seebeck coefficient whose absolute value reaches a peak at a temperature of 400 K or higher; and the latter acts as an n-type material and has a Seebeck coefficient whose absolute value reaches a peak at a temperature of 310 K or higher.
