%0 Conference Paper %B 2008 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference - Digest of Technical Papers %D 2008 %T A process-variation-tolerant floating-point unit with voltage interpolation and variable latency %A Xiaoyao Liang %A David Brooks %A Gu Wei %X This paper explores two fine-grained, post-fabrication circuit-tuning techniques to combat process variation for pipelined logic componentsrdquo voltage interpolation and variable latency. These techniques are applied to a single-precision floating-point unit (FPU) designed using a standard CAD synthesis flow in a 0.13 mum CMOS logic process with 8 metal layers. Measured results from fabricated chips show that both techniques provide wide frequency tuning range to deal with frequency fluctuations arising from process variations with minimal power overhead, and in some configurations, power savings. %B 2008 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference - Digest of Technical Papers %I IEEE %C San Francisco, CA, USA %P 404–623 %G eng %U https://doi.org/10.1109/ISSCC.2008.4523228
