The performance of a system, especially a multiprocessor system, heavily depends upon the efficiency of its bus architecture. This paper presents a methodology to generate a custo...
An important aspect of Design for Yield for embedded SRAM is identifying the expected worst case behavior in order to guarantee that sufficient design margin is present. Previousl...
With aggressive technology scaling, SRAM design has been seriously challenged by the difficulties in analyzing rare failure events. In this paper we propose to create statistical ...
