Embedded Memory Design for Multi-Core and Systems on Chip

This book describes the various tradeoffs systems designers face when designing embedded memory. Readers designing multi-core systems and systems on chip will benefit from the discussion of different topics from memory architecture, array organization, circuit design techniques and design for test. The presentation enables a multi-disciplinary approach to chip design, which bridges the gap between the architecture level and circuit level, in order to address yield, reliability and power-related issues for embedded memory.

List of contents

Introduction.- Memory Choices (TCM/Cache).- Cache memory.- Embedded Memory hierarchy.- Memory cell choices.- Banking Options and Data Array Organization.- Memory Implementation.- Memory operation and yield.- Low Power Design for Embedded Memory.- Design For Test.- Power Characterization.- Memory characterizations.
