  2. 22. Test and Repair of Reconfigurable On-chip Instrument Access Networks

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Zehang Xiang; [2019]
    Keywords : reconfigurable network; Test and repair of reconfigurable scan network; scan register; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As transistors in integrated circuits (ICs) are becoming smaller, faster and more, it has become harder to avoid malfunctioning. Embedded instruments are increasingly used to test, tune, and configure the transistors in ICs. IEEE Std.1149. READ MORE

  3. 23. Reconfigurable Instrument Access Network with a Functional Port Interface

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Gani Kumisbek; Prathamesh Murali; [2019]
    Keywords : IEEE Std. 1687; IJTAG; UART.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The ever-increasing need for higher performance and more complex functionality pushes the electronics industry to find a faster and more efficient way to test and debug an Integrated Circuit (IC). Currently, the IEEE Std. 1149.1, known as Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) is considered as state of the art by the industry. READ MORE

  4. 24. Statistical Approach for the Design of Refresh-Free eDRAM with Retention Timing Constraint

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Arturo Prieto; [2019]
    Keywords : Memory; eDRAM; DRAM; SRAM; IC; Refresh; Statistics; Importance Sampling; Monte Carlo; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : In digital integrated circuits, memories are often a limiter for main performance, power and area. Over the past decade, integrated memories have gained dominance in terms of area and power cost. In applications like machine learning or image processing the area share can be above 80% consuming more than 50% of the total power budget. READ MORE

  5. 25. A Technology Agnostic Approach for Standard-cell Layout Design Automation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Tom Johansson; [2019]
    Keywords : IC; automation; standard cell; standard cell design; ASIC; chip; graph theory; SAT; full adder; adder; MUX; layout; schematic; mst; minimum spanning tree; kruskal; pnr; placement; routing; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The logic scaling following Moores law has reached a level where System on Chips (SoCs) commonly contains millions of standard cells. The sheer amount implies that even small optimizations on a standard cell can have a significant effect on the SoC performance. To ensure the performance of standard cells, many of these are hand-drawn. READ MORE
