An improved M-IVC scheme is proposed to mitigate the NBTI aging of circuit in standby mode, in which the input control vectors are randomly generated under constraint of the input duty cycles obtained by genetic algorithm. The experimental results show that compared with the existing M-IVC method, the circuit time delay degradation can be improved by 51.5% on average when S/A is 5/5 and the effectiveness gets better as S/A increases.
