“…As a result, chip design teams often treat SP-based methods with skepticism. Post-silicon techniques, on the other hand, rely on data from surrogate aging sensors [2]- [4], such as ring oscillators, to apply just enough adaptive compensation to mitigate the effect of aging [5], [6]. To a limited extent, they may successfully capture the environment faced by the circuit, e.g., if they are placed close to the circuit and have a similar connection to the power grid, they can capture the thermal and supply voltage environment.…”
