摘要
Several technologies using threshold-voltage (V(TH)) tuning are introduced for performance control of a microprocessor. Body-bias and supply-voltage control enable V(TH) tuning. Design methodology of the tuning system is analytically discussed. Forward body biasing and V(TH) balancing improves CMOS circuit performance. Some tuning systems, such as a static body-bias control, an adaptive body-bias control, a supply-voltage/body-bias dual control, are introduced. The V(TH) tuning enables a microprocessor to operate in the optimum manner.
