PVT Monitor
Omni Design offers a family of OmniTRUST™ process, voltage and temperature monitors for a range of process nodes. The PVT monitors have a compact size, and low power consumption and are capable of operating over the entire temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.
The temperature monitors achieve ±4°C temperature accuracy without trim and ±1°C temperature accuracy after a single room temperature trim. The voltage monitors supports four differential or single-ended inputs with a voltage range up to ±1.8V.
A one-shot mode allows user to initiate an on-demand temperature or voltage measurement. When not operating, the entire block enters a low power standby mode.
The included process monitor provides information on process variation of core PMOS & NMOS as well as I/O PMOS and NMOS devices in an easily readable digital format.
