A Shared Built-In Self-Repair Analysis scheme (Shared-BISA) for multiple embedded memory cores in the SOC is proposed to realize minimum area penalty independent of the number of embedded memory cores. A compact reconfigurable CAM array in the BISA circuitry realizes a flexible redundancy analysis structure to cope with various memory core and redundancy structures, and a high-speed operation up to 5OOMHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
