Innovating the SoC Design for Emerging Memory Technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new emerging memory technology, Phase-change RAM is gaining more and more attention as a complement or replacement of existing DRAM in the main memory subsystem. In order for PRAM to be applied to the main memory, its limitations of write endurance, long read/write latency, high write power consumption need to be overcome on the PRAM chip and the SoC utilizing the PRAM. In this paper, we explain recent works on innovating SoC designs to better utilize PRAM-based main memory.

متن کاملEmbedded Memory Test Strategies and Repair
The demand of self-testing proportionally increases with memory size in System on Chip (SoC). SoC architecture normally occupies the majority of its area by memories. Due to increase in density of embedded memories, there is a need of self-testing mechanism in SoC design. Therefore, this research study focuses on this problem and introduces a smooth solution for self-testing. In the proposed m...
متن کاملPanel on Advanced Embedded Memory Technologies
At present, system-on-a-chip (SoC) designers are confronted with a variety of alternative embedded memory technologies including SRAM, DRAM, and flash memory. Each of these memory options has both strengths and weaknesses. SRAM offers compatibility with logic and fast read and write speeds at the cost of large 4or 6-transistor storage cells and relatively high dynamic power consumption. DRAM of...

As device complexity grows and fabrication costs continue to fall, test is emerging as the largest expense in complex SOC (system-onchip) IC manufacturing. At the same time, ICs continue to exponentially increase in complexity, driving up test times. Many SOC devices incorporate multiple technologies, such as high-speed logic, DRAM, flash memory, and analog circuits. Testing these circuit types...
متن کاملAn Efficient LUT Design on FPGA for Memory-Based Multiplication
An efficient Lookup Table (LUT) design for memory-based multiplier is proposed. This multiplier can be preferred in DSP computation where one of the inputs, which is filter coefficient to the multiplier, is fixed. In this design, all possible product terms of input multiplicand with the fixed coefficient are stored directly in memory. In contrast to an earlier proposition Odd Multiple Storage ...
