    摘要: A method for bit line alignment during the design of an integrated circuit is provided. Aspects include receiving a chip design for the integrated circuit and receiving an intended orientation of the integrated circuit. Aspects also include identifying one or more elements of the chip design that include word lines that are oriented in a substantially gravitational direction and modifying the chip design to perform one or more of rotating the one or more elements such that the word lines are no longer oriented in a substantially gravitational direction and rotating the one or more elements such that the word lines are oriented in a direction substantially perpendicular to the gravitational direction. Aspects further include causing the fabrication of the integrated circuit based on the modified chip design.

    摘要: Aspects of the invention include using a cyclic redundancy code (CRC) multiple-input signature register (MISR) for early warning and fail detection. Received bits are monitored at a receiver for transmission errors. The monitoring includes receiving frames of bits that are a subset of frames of bits used by the transmitter to generate a multi-frame CRC. At least one of the received frames of bits includes payload bits and a source single check bit not included in the multi-frame CRC. It is determined whether a transmission error has occurred in the received frames of bits. The determining includes generating a calculated single check bit based at least in part on bits in the received frames of bits, and comparing the received source single check bit to the calculated single check bit. An error indication is transmitted to the transmitter if they don't match.

    摘要: Aspects of the invention include calculating, by a transmitter, source cyclic redundancy code (CRC) bits for payload bits. The source CRC bits include source CRC bits for a first type of CRC check and source CRC bits for a second type of CRC check. The source CRC bits are stored at the transmitter. The payload bits and the source CRC bits for the first type of CRC check are transmitted to the receiver. The receiver performs the first type of CRC check based at least in part on the payload bits and the source CRC bits for the first type of CRC check. The receiver also calculates and stores at the receiver calculated CRC bits for the second type of CRC check. If the first type of CRC check indicates an error, a comparison of the source and calculated CRC bits for the second type of CRC check is initiated.
