    摘要: A design structure embodied in a machine readable medium used in a design process and an integrated circuit for high performance SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) read bypass for BIST (built-in self-test). The design structure and integrated structure includes a dynamic to static conversion unit for a read output of an SRAM array, and a test bypass unit integrated into the dynamic to static conversion unit, so as to allow the read output of the SRAM array to pass through in a non-test mode without impacting performance, and bypass the read output of the SRAM array and allow a test signal to pass though in a test mode.

    摘要: A SRAM cell write performance evaluation circuit includes a SRAM core where each wordline is connected to only one bit column. A ring oscillator circuit is used to generate wordline pulses. A state machine controls operations for the SRAM cell write performance evaluation circuit including the ring oscillator circuit and the SRAM core. A control signal is applied to the state machine to select a first write operation, where the circuit simultaneously writes all the cells to a known state with wide wordlines to ensure all cells are written. Then a second write operation is selected, and all the wordlines are launched simultaneously to write the cells to the opposite state. From these write operations, a required wordline pulse width to write the cell is identified.

    摘要: A circuit and method erase at power-up all data stored in a DRAM chip for increased data security. All the DRAM memory cells are erased by turning on the transistors for the DRAM storage cells simultaneously by increasing the body voltage of cells. In the example circuit, the body voltage is increased by a charge pump controlled by a power-on-reset (POR) signal applying a voltage to the p-well of the memory cells. The added voltage to the p-well lowers the threshold voltage of the cell, such that the NFET transistor of the memory cell will turn on. With all the devices turned on, the data stored in the memory cells is erased as the voltage of all the cells connected to a common bitline coalesce to a single value.
