Abstract
We present a manufacturable scheme for managing PVT variations and controlling speed and power consumption by using an on-chip microcontroller and a temperature sensor. The system varies body-bias and power supplies of the memory core and periphery logic independently. The circuit occupies 0.32 mm2 (0.4%) of a 72 Mb SRAM test-chip in a 65 nm CMOS process.
