Software-Based Mitigation for Memory Address Decoder Aging

Integrated circuits typically contain design margins to compensate for aging. As aging impact increases with technology scaling, bigger margins are necessary to achieve the desired reliability. However, these increased margins lead to a reduced performance and lower yield. Alternatively, mitigation schemes can be deployed to reduce the aging....

Hardware-based aging mitigation scheme for memory address decoder

Designers typically add design margins to memories to compensate for their aging. As the aging impact increases with technology scaling, bigger margins become necessary. However, this negatively impacts area, yield, performance, and power consumption. Alternatively, mitigation schemes can be used to reduce the impact of aging. This paper...
