Weak <strong><strong>in</strong>version</strong><br />

PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS AND LIMITATIONS<br />

CSEM, E. Vittoz, 2003<br />

page 30<br />

• Low-voltage power source<br />

• should be proportional to UT (PTAT)<br />

• need for power-efficient adapter from higher supply voltage.<br />

• Asymmetry<br />

• p/n asymmetry may result <strong>in</strong> speed reduction.<br />

• Mismatch<br />

• dom<strong>in</strong>ated by threshold mismatch δVT • may result <strong>in</strong> speed reduction proportional to δVT /VB .<br />

• Short channel effects: should not drastically degrade the results.<br />

• Gate leakage current : should be alleviated by very low VB .<br />

• Adjustment <strong>of</strong> I0 orTd to required value<br />

• control by VS with charge pump <strong>in</strong> loop [18]; n>1 needed (no SOI!)<br />

• corresponds to threshold adjustment unavoidable at very low V B .<br />

• System architectures <strong>and</strong> applications.
