    摘要: Monitoring aging information for multiple devices. Aging information of the devices may be received. Statistics regarding the multiple devices may be determined based on the aging information. For at least some of the devices, update information may be determined based on the respective aging information. The update information may include modifications to operating parameters of the devices. For example, the devices may operate according to initial parameters that are above sustainable parameters and the update information may lower the operating parameters based on the aging information.

    摘要: An age compensation method and apparatus for an integrated circuit (IC). An IC may be configured to operate at an initial operating voltage at the beginning of its operational life. Various circuits may be used to detect aging of the IC, and indications of aging may be stored to determine the aging of the IC. The information indicative of the determined aging of the IC may be compared to an aging threshold. If the information indicates that the aging is greater than or equal to the determined aging threshold, the operating voltage of the IC may be increased. This process may be repeated over the life of the IC, increasing the operating voltage as the IC ages. Raising the operating voltage in response to aging may compensate for various age related degradation mechanisms that can occur over the operational life of the IC.

    摘要: An aging detection circuit is disclosed. An aging detection circuit may include at least an inverter and a half-latch. During a power-up sequence, if an input voltage of the first inverter changes sufficiently to cause the output of the inverter to change states, the output of the half-latch may be set to a state indicating aging of the circuit. This indication may be used in determining whether or not a supply voltage should be changed to compensate for the aging. A first transistor of the inverter may be arranged such that it remains active subsequent to power-up of the circuit. When active, the first transistor may be subject to degradation mechanisms associated with aging and which change its threshold voltage. The threshold voltage may change such that on a successive power-ups of the circuit, the first transistor is at least momentarily deactivated, leading to the setting of the state indicating aging by the half-latch circuit.
