Compensation and Regulation Solutions’ Synthesis

In this chapter we will go through the arbitration of different compensation and regulation systems. To begin with, we will compare the main variation compensation techniques, voltage scaling and body-biasing, by studying their impact on the compensated circuits’ specifications and evaluating their costs and benefits. As an addition, we will include an exploration of the potential advantages of a combination of both. Then, we will compare the closed-loop and open-loop regulation techniques detailed in Chaps. 12 and 13 as a way to modulate the body-bias on chip. We will discuss if it is worth or not investing in a more sophisticated closed-loop to regulate the body-bias over a simpler approach based on an open-loop regulation.
