A fully digital control circuit that efficiently realizes the technique is also described. The proposed test structure is realized by a series of modified ring oscillators that minimize factors of inaccuracy. The results of a simulation using 0.18μm CMOS technology show the feasibility of the technique. This test structure can be beneficial in thoroughly characterizing the effects of systematical process variations inside the chip.enProcess VariationsModified Ring OscillatorsArticle
