A method and system for processing commonality of semiconductor devices. The method includes providing a first plurality of semiconductor devices, providing a second plurality of semiconductor devices, obtaining a first plurality of measured values corresponding to a characteristic associated with the first plurality of semiconductor devices, and obtaining a second plurality of measured values corresponding to the characteristic associated with the second plurality of semiconductor devices. Additionally, the method includes performing a first statistical analysis, determining a first statistical distribution, performing a second statistical analysis, and determining a second statistical distribution. Moreover, the method includes processing information associated with the first statistical distribution and the second statistical distribution, and determining an indicator. Also, the method includes processing information associated with the indicator, determining a confidence level, processing information associated with the confidence level, and determining whether the characteristic is stable.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for providing cell bus management in a switch platform are provided. Each unidirectional FIFO buffer of a cell bus controller outputs a write port cell count from a write port. A cell count value is programmed at which the write port cell count is outputted. When the write port cell count indicates that the FIFO buffer can not accept additional data or cells, a master bidirectional FIFO unit ceases reading cells to a unidirectional FIFO buffer of the slave bidirectional FIFO unit in response to the write port cell count. Furthermore, the master bidirectional FIFO unit disables a corresponding switch from routing cells to the slave bidirectional FIFO unit in response to the write port cell count; the switch routes the cells to another of the slave bidirectional FIFO units. The master bidirectional FIFO unit resumes reading cells to the second unidirectional FIFO buffer of the slave bidirectional FIFO unit in response to a write port cell count indication that the FIFO buffer can accept additional data or cells. In response, the master bidirectional FIFO unit enables an associated switch to route cells to the slave bidirectional FIFO unit.
