• 低功耗设计的双链电源关断策略的实现与验证

    Implementation and verification of a dual-chain power gating strategy for low power design

    • 随着集成电路工艺节点持续微缩,低功耗设计已成为芯片设计中的核心挑战。传统电源门控技术虽能有效降低静态功耗,但其单链结构在上电过程中易产生过大过冲电流,导致显著电压降(IR Drop),进而增加上电失败风险。针对该问题,本文提出一种双链电源门控结构设计,并在相同工艺、电压及温度条件下,系统对比分析了单链与双链结构的上电暂态特性及过冲电流行为。仿真结果表明,双链结构可将过冲电流由单链结构的335.269 mA降低至116.871 mA,降幅达65.2%,有效抑制了电压降幅值,显著降低了上电失败概率。该方案为低功耗、高稳定性集成电路设计提供了一种可行的工程化解决路径。

       

      Abstract: As integrated circuit technology nodes continue to scale down, low-power design has become a central challenge in chip design. Although conventional power-gating techniques can effectively reduce static power consumption, their single-chain structure tends to generate excessively large inrush current during power-up, leading to significant IR drop and consequently increasing the risk of power-up failure. To address this issue, this paper proposes a dual-chain power-gating structure design and systematically compares and analyzes the power-up transient characteristics and inrush current behavior of both single-chain and dual-chain structures under identical process, voltage, and temperature conditions. Simulation results demonstrate that the dual-chain structure reduces the inrush current from 335.269 mA in the single-chain structure to 116.871 mA, representing a reduction of 65.2%, effectively suppressing the IR drop magnitude and significantly lowering the probability of power-up failure. This scheme provides a feasible engineering solution for low-power, high-stability integrated circuit design.
