A Wide-Range Static Current-Free Current Mirror-Based LS With Logic Error Detection for Near-Threshold Operation

Project Code :TVPGBE162

Objective

The objective is to propose a current mirror-based level shifter (LS) with a logic error detection (CMLS-LED), which is capable of converting a near-threshold signal to a super-threshold signal.

Abstract

We propose a novel level shifter (LS) named Current Mirror-based Level Shifter with Logic Error Detection (CMLS-LED). This innovative design effectively transforms a near-threshold signal into a super-threshold signal. Unlike conventional Cross-Coupled pmos-based LS (CPLS), CMLS-LED overcomes the current contention issue by leveraging a current mirror. Additionally, it eliminates static current in the conventional current mirror LS by incorporating a feedback pmos controlled by the output node.

In comparison to Wilson's Current Mirror-based LS (WCMLS), CMLS-LED demonstrates superior speed by circumventing the threshold voltage drop of the feedback pmos. Moreover, it avoids stability concerns associated with incomplete output swing. Experimental results from a test chip and implementing CMLS-LED alongside WCMLS, CPLS, and Osaki's LS, reveal compelling advantages. CMLS-LED extends the operating voltage range by 200 mV compared to CPLS and exhibits an improvement in speed compared to WCMLS.
