System and method for applying within-die adaptive body bias

摘要

A controller for providing within-die body bias includes a signal generator for generating different bias signals and a selector to route the bias signals to one or more specific types of transistors within the sections of the die. The controller may further include a plurality of secondary body bias generators, each disposed in a respective one of the die sections for translating the signals from the generator into local bias values. Through this controller, adaptive body bias techniques may be implemented which improve the bin split and overall performance of fabricated processors or other types of circuits formed on the die.
