  22. WP3: Digital techniques

  23. WP3: Technical problems • Logic families with reduced current variation • how logic circuits can be designed in such a way that they generate less current variation (di/dt) in the supply lines • EMC-friendly clock strategy • how the electromagnetic radiation caused by digital circuits can be reduced by adapting the clock strategy.

  24. T3.1: Design of EMC-friendly logic families - I • Selection of EMC-friendly logic family: • 6 different logic design techniquesare compared, • The design goal is to reduce di/dt noise while still keep the compromise on the speed, power, area trade-off under control, • Based on the simulations, we conclude that CSL logic is the best choice. • Comparison of CSL and SCMOS: • The CSL logic produces an amount of di/dt noise almost 36dB smaller than the SCMOS logic, • If controlled properly, we can keep the power of CSL circuit comparable to the SCMOS, • CSL show a smaller area per logic function for complex digital gates and systems.

  25. T3.1: Design of EMC-friendly logic families - II But there is static power !! Current Steering Logic (Static + Dynamic) Area di/dt Peak-Peak Power Target : Mixed-Mode Automotive Electronics Design Key aspects : di/dt + Power + Area + Speed Ring Oscillator of 21-stages

  26. T3.1: Design of EMC-friendly logic families - III Power spectrum density of di/dt comparison 36dB SCMOS CSL

  27. T3.2: EMC-friendly clock strategies - I 2 different clock strategies are studied: • Clock skew:based on the introduction of different skews to the branches of a clock tree. • Only 2-5dB reduction, • Need smart algorithm to control and optimize the skew. • Spread Spectrum Clock Generation(SSCG): based on an existing DLL idea. • Spread the clock period by a programmable amount, • Fully digital and simple implementation, • More than 12dB on the maximum di/dt power spectrum reduction.

  28. T3.2: EMC-friendly clock strategies - II Regular Clock Spread Spectrum Clock 12dB reduction Zoom in • A test chip for SSCG will be designed to prove the simulation(next project phase). • Problem remains: introduction into a standard design flow. Spectrum from 300MHz to 800MHz

  29. T3.3: Test chip for the EMI Suppressing Regulator - I • The EMI suppressing regulator replaces the EMC-friendly logic: • Control the way the current delivered to the internal digital core, hence keep the EMI under control, • Compatible with conventional CMOS logic, • Large EMI reduction is ensured (40dB), comparable with low noise digital cells only, • More power efficient than low noise logic cells, • Can be adjusted to a wide range of chip size and power consumption level.

  30. T3.3: Test chip for the EMI Suppressing Regulator - II 9x106 7x103 ~60 dB reduction 40dB (EMI regulator) + 20dB (Serial regulator) load current of digital core current of Vbat di/dt of Vbat di/dt of V3v3 FFT FFT di/dt p-p =8.5x104 [A/s] di/dt p-p =1.8x109 [A/s]
