    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a low power multiplexer (MUX) circuit, including: a first data input coupled to an input of a first pass gate device; a second data input coupled to an input of a second pass gate device; a hold latch having an input coupled to a data output of the MUX circuit and an output coupled to an input of a supplemental pass gate device; and a pulse generator for generating a HOLD pulse signal, wherein the HOLD pulse signal is coupled to a control input of the supplemental pass gate device. The hold latch is configured to hold a previously valid output data signal of the MUX circuit until a valid input data signal is available at the first data input or the second data input.

    Abstract: As disclosed herein, a method, executed by a computer, for integrated circuit timing variability reduction includes loading a netlist that corresponds to a chip design, where the chip design includes one or more circuits and a plurality of post-fill features, traversing a portion of the netlist corresponding to a circuit, determining a post-fill environment for the circuit from a plurality of post-fill features, and modeling a timing variance for the circuit based on the post-fill environment. The method may also include changing one or more post-fill features to achieve a targeted delay. The method may include generating a report of circuit timing and timing variances. One or more circuits can be concurrently traversed. The timing variance can be modeled with the use of a scaling factor for a standard timing variance. A computer system and computer program product corresponding to the method are also disclosed herein.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes functional logic therein that can be enabled by application of a predefined thermal cycle. The IC includes an enabling fuse operatively coupled to the functional logic, the functional logic being disabled unless enabled by activation of the enabling fuse. A set of thermal sensors are arranged in a physically distributed manner through at least a portion of the IC. A test control macro operatively couples to the set of thermal sensors and the enabling fuse for activating the enabling fuse to enable the functional logic in response to application of a thermal cycle that causes the set of thermal sensors to sequentially experience a thermal condition matching a thermal sequence enabling test. A related method and system for applying the predefined thermal cycle are also provided.

    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide an integrated circuit (IC) wafer having a plurality of circuit dies each bounded by a set of scribe lines. The IC structure includes: a plurality of reference features each respectively positioned in a first layer of one of the plurality of circuit dies. The reference feature of each circuit die is equidistant from a respective set of scribe lines for the circuit die, and a plurality of identification features each positioned in a second layer of one of the plurality of circuit dies. The reference feature of each circuit die has a distinct offset vector indicative of a positional difference between the identification feature for the circuit die and the reference feature for the circuit die, relative to the identification feature of each other circuit die.
