AB - Contemporary digitally controlled delay elements (DEs) trade off power overheads and delay quantization error (DQE). This article proposes a new programmable DE that provides a balanced design that yields low power with moderate DQE even under process, voltage, and temperature variations. The element employs and leverages the advantages offered by a 28nm fully depleted silicon on insulator technology, using back body biasing to add an extra dimension to its programmability. To do so, a novel generic delay shift block is proposed, which enables incorporating both fine and coarse delays in a single DE that can be easily integrated into digital systems, which is an advantage over hybrid DEs that rely on analog design.
