Abstract: Various implementations described herein are related to a method. The method may apply a write control voltage to a bitcell. The method may gradually ramp the write control voltage to the bitcell. The method may terminate application of the write control voltage to the bitcell when a write operation is sensed in the bitcell.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a primary memory array with cells switchable between first and second states. The circuit also includes sacrificial memory cells; each fabricated to be switchable between the first and second states and associated with at least one row of the primary array. A controller is configured to detect a write operation to a row of the primary array, stress a sacrificial cell associated with the row and detect a failure of the associated sacrificial cell. The sacrificial cells are fabricated to have lower write-cycle endurance than cells of the primary array or are subjected to more stress. Failure of a row of the primary array is predicted based, at least in part, on a detected failure of the associated sacrificial cell.

Abstract: According to one implementation of the present disclosure, a method for power management is disclosed. The method includes: computing, by a central processing unit, software instructions of a software workload in an active-mode operation corresponding to a first operating point on a performance curve of a performance mode; transitioning from instances of the active-mode operation to instances of standby-mode operation of the CPU, and recording, by a time tracking element, each of a plurality of standby entry data points; transitioning from the instances of the standby-mode operation to the instances of the active-mode operation of the CPU, and recording, by the time tracking element, each of a plurality of standby exit data points; and determining a second operating point on the performance curve of the performance mode based on the recorded standby entry data points and the recorded standby exit data points.

Abstract: Embodiments are described for digital forward body biasing CMOS circuits. In an embodiment, a power management unit limits the amount of time for which digital forward body biasing may be implemented. In another embodiment, once a CMOS circuit is put into a full digital forward body bias mode, the CMOS circuit is gradually brought back to a zero forward body bias mode. In another embodiment, charge is shared among biased transistor wells during transition intervals when transitioning from one bias mode to another.
