Generic march element based memory built-in self test

Method for testing a memory under test (1) comprising a plurality of memory cells and a Memory Built-In Self-Test Engine (2) connectable to a memory under test. The MBIST engine (2) is arranged to generate appropriate addressing and read and/or write operations to the memory under test (1). The MBIST engine (2) is connected to a March Element...

Implementation of a reliable date bus for the Delfi nanosatellite programme

The Delfi-n3Xt nano-satellite is the second Dutch universitysatellite currently being developed at the Delft University of Technology (TUD) as successor of the Delfi-C3 that has been successfully launched in April 2008. Compared to Delfi-C3, the Delfi-n3Xt platform provides significant advancements to the platform: a high-speed downlink, three...

The Case for a Generic Implant Processor

A more structured and streamlined design of implants is nowadays possible. In this paper we focus on implant processors located in the heart of implantable systems. We present a real and representative biomedical-application scenario where such a new processor can be employed. Based on a suitably selected processor simulator, various operational...

Testing of modern semiconductor memory structures

In this thesis, we study the problem of faults in modern semiconductor memory structures and their tests. According to the 2005 ITRS, the systems on chip (SoCs) are moving from logic and memory balanced chips to more memory dominated devices in order to cope with the increasing application requirements. The embedded memories are expected to...
