Abstract: In some examples, this disclosure describes a method of operating a circuit. The method may comprise performing a circuit function under normal operating conditions, wherein performing the circuit function under the normal operating conditions includes performing at least a portion of the circuit functions via a characteristic circuit, performing at least the portion of the circuit function under enhanced stress conditions via a characteristic circuit replica, and predicting a potential future problem with the circuit function under the normal conditions based on an evaluation of operation of the characteristic circuit relative to operation of the characteristic circuit replica.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses relating to error-tolerant memories are provided. In one example embodiment, output signals from at least three memory devices are supplied to an error correction device. The error correction device outputs a corrected data value in such a manner that, when the read data values match, this data value is output and, in at least one state in which the data values do not match, a previously output data value is retained.

Abstract: In some examples, a circuit may be configured to perform a method that includes performing a circuit function via a circuit function unit of a circuit, receiving sensor data from one or more sensors associated with the circuit function unit, and estimating a remaining life of the circuit based on an accelerated reliability model and the sensor data, wherein the sensor data comprises input to the accelerated reliability model. The circuit itself may include a dedicated circuit unit that estimates the remaining life of the circuit based on an accelerated reliability model and the sensor data, and the circuit may output one or more predictive alerts or predictive faults when the remaining life is below a threshold, which may prompt the system for predictive maintenance on the circuit.

Abstract: In some examples, a circuit comprises a function unit configured to perform a circuit function, and one or more in situ monitors configured to measure internal data associated with the circuit. The circuit may further comprise a memory configured to store one or more limit values associated with the one or more in situ monitors, and a lifetime model unit configured to determine whether the circuit has reached an end-of-life threshold based on the measured internal data from the one or more in situ monitors and the limit values.
