Latest Patents
One of Taneja's latest patents is titled "Circuitry and method for critical path timing speculation to enable process variation compensation via voltage scaling." This invention involves a critical-path timing sensor that detects set-up timing failures from a functional critical path to a path flip-flop. The functional critical path carries test data during test mode and normal data during regular device operation. The D input and Q output of the path flip-flop are compared by an exclusive-OR (XOR) gate and sampled by an early capture flip-flop clocked by a delayed clock. When a set-up time fails, the difference between D and Q is latched just after the clock edge, indicating a timing failure. This failure activates a controller to increase VDD, while VDD is reduced in the absence of timing failures. The invention accounts for process variations, allowing for lower power consumption or faster operation.
Another notable patent is "Circuitry and method for timing speculation via toggling functional critical paths." This invention utilizes toggling functional critical path timing sensors to measure delays in toggling functional critical paths that replicate actual critical paths or represent worst-case delay paths. A Toggle flip-flop or Linear-Feedback-Shift Register (LFSR) drives high-transition-density test patterns to these paths. If a toggling functional critical path's delay fails to meet the set-up timing requirement, the timing sensors signal a controller to increase VDD. Conversely, when no failures occur over time, the controller decreases VDD. A margin delay buffer adds a delay to the toggling functional critical path before being clocked into an early capture flip-flop, ensuring accurate timing failure signals are generated.
