Microprocessor technology is increasingly used for many applications; the large market volumes call for cost containment in the production phase. Process yield for processor produ...
Because domino logic design offers smaller area and faster delay than conventional CMOS design, it is very popular in the high-performance processor design. However, domino logic ...
Processor cores embedded in systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) are often deployed in critical computations, and when affected by faults they may produce dramatic effects. When hardware harde...
The paper addresses the issue of microprocessor and microcontroller testing, and follows an approach based on the generation of a test program. The proposed method relies on two p...
Scaling feature size improves processor performance but increases each device’s susceptibility to defects (i.e., hard errors). As a result, fabrication technology must improve s...
