Sensory memories are stored for a few seconds at most. They come from the five senses: hearing, vision, touch, smell, and taste. They are stored only for as long as the sense is being stimulated. They ...

Memory test at-speed isn't easy but can be achieved by balancing test selection, area overhead, and test-time constraints. The semiconductor industry has intensified its focus on yield issues to meet ...

The use of memory-heavy IP in SoCs for automotive, artificial intelligence (AI), and processor applications is steadily increasing. However, these memory-heavy IP often have only a single access point ...

The variety of different test methodologies combined with today�s mixture of memory devices creates a complex test profile. The manufacturing test floor hums with activity; a range of memory devices ...

DRAM manufacturers continue to demand cost-effective solutions for screening and process improvement amid growing concerns over defects and process variability, but meeting that demand is becoming ...

We tend to take our ability to remember things like faces, phone numbers, other people's names, and events for granted until they are impaired by memory loss due to Alzheimer’s disease and other ...

Editor's note: In this third installment of a four-part series on debugging FPGA designs, author Brad Frieden explains how the MicroBlaze Trace Core (MTC) allows designers to trace both address and ...

Having explained in part 1 the nature of the memory test challenge in the industry today, this article discusses non-intrusive debug and test methods based on embedded instruments and how these ...

If you have ever forgotten where you left your keys or struggled to recall a name while in the middle of a conversation, you may feel worried about your brain health, especially as you get older. This ...
