Automation Of Shared Bus Memory Test With Tessent MemoryBIST


New requirements in automotive, artificial intelligence (AI), and processor applications have resulted in increased use of memory-heavy IP. Memory-heavy IPs for these applications are optimized for high performance, and they will often have a single access point for testing the memories. Tessent MemoryBIST provides an out-of-the-box solution for using this single access point, or shared bus int... » read more

Automate Memory Test Through A Shared Bus Interface


The use of memory-heavy IP in SoCs for automotive, artificial intelligence (AI), and processor applications is steadily increasing. However, these memory-heavy IP often have only a single access point for testing the memories. A shared bus architecture allows testing and repairing memories within IP cores through a single access point referred to as a shared bus interface. Within this interface... » read more

Convolutional Compaction-Based MRAM Fault Diagnosis


Abstract: "Spin-transfer torque magnetoresistive random-access memories (STT-MRAMs) are gradually superseding conventional SRAMs as last-level cache in System-on-Chip designs. Their manufacturing process includes trimming a reference resistance in STT-MRAM modules to reliably determine the logic values of 0 and 1 during read operations. Typically, an on-chip trimming routine consists of mult... » read more
