Improved state integrity of flip-flops for voltage scaled retention under PVT variation

Through measurements from 82 test chips, each with a state retention block of 8192 flip-flops, implemented using 65-nm design library, we demonstrate that state integrity of a flip-flop is sensitive to process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variation. It has been found at 25?C that First Failure Vo...
