Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a process corner detection circuit and a process corner detection method. The process corner detection circuit includes: M ring oscillators disposed inside a chip, M≥1, where types of N-type transistors in the M ring oscillators are not exactly the same, and types of P-type transistors in the M ring oscillators are not exactly the same; transistor types of the M ring oscillators include all transistor types used in the chip; the ring oscillators include symmetric ring oscillators and asymmetric ring oscillators; types of N-type transistors and P-type transistors in the symmetric ring oscillators are the same; and types of N-type transistors and P-type transistors in the asymmetric ring oscillators are different.
