Abstract:This paper presents a built-in self repair analyzer with the optimal repair rate for embedded memory arrays. The proposed method requires only a single test, even in the worst case. By performing the must-repair analysis on the fly during the test, it selectively stores fault addresses, and the final analysis to find a solution is performed on the stored fault addresses. To enumerate all possible solutions, existing techniques use depth first search using a stack and a FSM. Instead, we propose a new algorithm … Show more
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.
