Chris B. Wilkerson, Shih-Lien L. Lu, Tanay Karnik, Vivek K. De Intel, Hillsboro, OR Microprocessor clock frequency (FCLK) is traditionally determined based on maximum supply voltage (Vcc) droop and temperature specifications. Since typical usage patterns usually run at nominal Vcc and temperature, these infrequent dynamic variations severely limit FCLK. The concept of timing-error detection and correction in previous work [1,2] is extended and implemented in a test-chip in 65nm CMOS [3] to explore the effectiveness of resilient circuits in eliminating Vcc and temperature FCLK guardbands as well as exploiting path-activation probabilities to maximize throughput (TP). Three error-detection sequential circuits (Fig. 22.2.1) are implemented. The first technique is a simplified Razor flip-flop (RFF) [1,2] with the metastability detector omitted. The RFF double samples input data with a datapath flip-flop and a shadow latch. The flip-flop
