Abstract
We present a 256-tap PN code acquisition filter in an 180nm CMOS process employing statistical system-level error compensation. Under voltage overscaling (VOS), near constant detection probability (Pdet) above 90% with 5.8x reduction in energy is achieved at a supply voltage 27% below the point of first failure (PoFF) with an error rate (pe) of 0.868. This is an improvement of 5.8x in energy-efficiency over conventional error free designs and 3.79x in energy-efficiency and 2170x in error tolerance over existing error tolerant designs.
