An efficient on-chip infrastructure for memory test and repair is crucial to enhance yield and availability of SoCs. Most of the existing built-in self-repair solutions reuse IP-C...
Today’s ASIC designs consist of more memory in terms of both area and number of instances. The shrinking of geometries has an even greater effect upon memories due to their tigh...

Memory cores (especially SRAM cores) used on a system chip usually come from a memory compiler. Commercial memory compilers have their limitation— a large memory may need to be ...
Embedded memories are among the most widely used cores in current system-on-chip (SOC) implementations. Memory cores usually occupy a significant portion of the chip area, and do...
In modern SoCs, embedded memories occupy the largest part of the chip area and include an even larger amount of active devices. As memories are designed very tightly to the limits...
