    摘要: A design structure for a static random access memory (SRAM) circuit includes first SRAM cell and a second SRAM cell that are configured to operate in a shared mode and/or an independent mode. In one example, a shared mode includes the sharing of a memory node of a first SRAM cell. In another example, an independent mode includes isolating a first SRAM cell from a second SRAM cell such that they operate independently.

    摘要: A design structure for a circuit for inline testing of memory devices which provides information on the variation of the threshold voltage. The design structure for the circuit includes an array of ring oscillators with a series of inverters, which already exist in the memory device. A control logic systematically steps through all of the ring oscillators by enabling each inverter and toggling the input. The mean frequency and its distribution is measured and recorded in an output circuit. The threshold voltage variation in the memory device is deduced from the ring oscillators. The circuit additionally includes two inverters place external of the memory device. Each ring oscillator is coupled to an inverter. The inverter preconditions the elements of the ring oscillator to prevent a resistive divider between the two transistors.

    摘要: Method and systems for dynamically recovering from voltage droops are disclosed. In one embodiment, a microprocessor coupled to a plurality of voltage sensing circuits is provided. The microprocessor includes an instruction sequencing unit and pipeline including a first series of instructions. A central voltage droop detection processor may be coupled to each of the voltage sensing circuits and the microprocessor. Voltage droop is detected using a voltage sensing circuit, after which processing of the microprocessor is interrupted. The pipeline may then be cleared. Subsequently, a second series of instructions including the first series of instructions, and additional instructions are issued. The additional instructions may include stall instructions that cause a delay in processing of the first series of instructions, which prevents re-occurrence of the voltage droop. The interruption and re-issuing also signals the microprocessor that all the data in a particular instruction stream might not be valid and allows recovery.
