摘要： Disclosed herein are embodiments of a system and an associated method for analyzing an integrated circuit to determine the value of a particular attribute (i.e., a physical or electrical property) in that integrated circuit. In the embodiments, an open deterministic sequencing technique is used to select a sequence of points representing centers of sample windows in an integrated circuit layout. Then, the value of the particular attribute is determined for each sample window and the results are accumulated in order to infer an overall value for that particular attribute for the entire integrated circuit layout. This sequencing technique has the advantage of allowing additional sample windows to be added and/or the sizes and shapes of the windows to be varied without hindering the quality of the sample.

摘要： A leakage current monitor circuit provides an accurate statistically representative analog of true off-state leakage current in a digital circuit integrated on a die. At least one N-type transistor and at least one P-type transistor separate from the digital circuit are sized to represent the total area of the corresponding type transistors in the digital circuit. The gates of the N-type transistor and P-type transistors are set to voltages according to the corresponding off-state logic levels of the digital circuit. The N-type and P-type transistors form a portion of corresponding current mirror circuits, which can provide outputs to a leakage current monitor and/or a control circuit such as a comparator that determines when leakage current for the N-type or P-type devices has exceeded a threshold. The output of the measurement/control circuit can be used to determine a temperature of and/or control operation of the digital circuit or the system environment of the integrated circuit.

摘要： A method and system for determining element voltage selection control values for a storage device provides energy conservation in storage arrays while maintaining a particular performance level. The storage device is partitioned into multiple elements, which may be sub-arrays, rows, columns or individual storage cells. Each element has a corresponding virtual power supply rail that is provided with a selectable power supply voltage. At test time, digital control values are determined for selection circuits for each element that set the virtual power supply rail to the minimum power supply voltage, unless a higher power supply voltage is required for the element to meet performance requirements. The set of digital control values can then be programmed into a fuse or used to adjust a mask at manufacture, or supplied on media along with the storage device and loaded into the device at system initialization.

摘要： Correlated failure distribution for memory arrays having different groupings of memory cells is estimated by constructing memory unit models for the groupings based on multiple parameters, establishing failure conditions of the memory unit model using fast statistical analysis, calculating a fail boundary of the parameters for each memory unit model based on its corresponding failure conditions, and constructing memory array models characterized by the fail boundaries. Operation of a memory array model is repeatedly simulated with random values of the parameters assigned to the memory cells and peripheral logic elements to identify memory unit failures for each simulated operation. A mean and a variance is calculated for each memory array model, and an optimal architecture can thereafter be identified by selecting the grouping exhibiting the best mean and variance, subject to any other circuit requirements such as power or area.

摘要： Mechanisms are provided for modeling a plurality of devices of an integrated circuit design as a single statistically equivalent wide device. An integrated circuit design is analyzed to identify a portion of the integrated circuit design having the plurality of devices. For the plurality of devices, a statistical model of a single statistically equivalent wide device is generated which has a statistical distribution of at least one operating characteristic of the single statistically equivalent wide device that captures statistical operating characteristic distributions of individual devices in the plurality of devices. At least one statistical operating characteristic of the single statistically equivalent wide device is a complex non-linear function of the statistical operating characteristics of the individual devices. The integrated circuit design is modeled using the single statistically equivalent wide device.
