摘要： In temperature sensing circuitry PTAT (Proportional to Absolute Temperature) Voltage References are typically used. By adding a feedback circuit and a source follower into the classic design, the circuit can guarantee that the current is mirrored identically regardless of the value of power supply voltage. This added circuitry is easy to implement and is low in both power and area. The essence of this invention is that the PTAT circuit allows a large range of operation including low voltage (1 Volt) and more accurate temperature readings.

摘要： A state detection circuit for a fusible element includes a differential sensing circuit that compares voltage at a detection point in a path containing the fusible element with that at a reference point in a path establishing a non-zero reference voltage. The paths are similarly configured except one contains the fusible element while the other contains a device establishing the reference voltage. The two paths in any given sensing circuit are located in close proximity to each other so that even though element parameters in the paths of different sensing circuits may vary significantly, those values track each other in the given sensing circuit. As a result, the normal non-zero value of the voltage at the reference point maintains a relationship to that at the detection point that enables the differential sensing circuit to detect between a fused and an unfused element irrespective of variation in circuit element parameters. In order to prevent detection circuits and other circuits on the chip being damaged, during blowing of the fusible elements, voltage level of the sensing circuits are chosen to isolate the detection circuits from the other circuits on the semiconductor chip and the excitation levels applied to the detection circuits are raised to maintain differential voltages in the detection circuits at sufficiently low levels to prevent damage.

摘要： A method for use in electronic design models encoded into design software for use in SOI based FET logic design includes simulation of an SOI device by and setting a floating body voltage to any desired value at any time during the simulation, by adding to the model an ideal voltage source, whose value is a desired body voltage, in series with an ideal current source, whose value is a constant times the voltage across itself. When the constant is zero, no current can flow, and any additional components have no effect on the circuit. When the constant is non-zero, said ideal current source appears to be the same as a resistor such that current can flow in to or out from the body node, setting its voltage. The constant is kept zero at all times, except when it is desired to change the body voltage. The body voltage can be reset at any time to solve the problem of successive delays in one simulation run and resetting the voltage before each delay measurement starts. To solve the problem of predicting the delay in a delay predictor (for example, delay rules generation), the offset from the body voltage as a part of the best case/worst case determination is included. The improved process employs a topological analysis for circuit elements to determine whether the element falls in one of several categories, and in the process determines which elements of a circuit might be in AC equilibrium.
