Abstract

A 65nm sub-Vt SoC integrates an on-chip, switched capacitor DC-DC converter with a 16b microcontroller and 128kb SRAM. The core logic is verified with a custom sub-Vt timing methodology. Functional down to 0.3V, the chip achieves 1 μW standby power at minimum Vdd. The converter realizes 75% efficiency at the minimum energy voltage of 0.5V
