چکیده
1. Preface This report presents a compressive study on designing memory BIST. The study covers motivation behind memory BIST, algorithm of different test patterns, surveys of current memory BIST architecture, and discussion of various implementation issues. It is my best intention that this report will serve as a knowledge base for future design in memory BIST. The remainder of this report is organized as follows: Section 2 introduces the motivation and background of memory BIST. Section 3 describes the algorithms of

Stream ciphers and the eSTREAM project
Stream ciphers are an important class of symmetric cryptographic algorithms. The eSTREAM project contributed significantly to the recent increase of activity in this field. In this paper, we present a survey of the eSTREAM project. We also review recent time/memory/data and time/memory/key trade-offs relevant for the generic attacks on stream ciphers.
متن کاملScalable Embedded Flash for Mixed-signal Asics
Fast time-to-market for mixed-signal ASICs with embedded non-volatile memory (NVM) requires robust IP blocks of different array sizes. This paper describes array topology, design architecture and digital wrapper trade-offs that must be considered in designing a scalable NVM. Specific time generator, sense amplifier and array topology are displayed as well as a BIST specific approach. Finally HI...
متن کاملTestability Trade-Offs for BIST Data Paths
Power dissipation during test application is an emerging problem due to yield and reliability concerns. This paper focuses on BIST for RTL data paths and discusses testability trade-offs in terms of test application time, BIST area overhead and power dissipation.
متن کاملEthical Perspective: Five Unacceptable Trade-offs on the Path to Universal Health Coverage
This article discusses what ethicists have called “unacceptable trade-offs” in health policy choices related to universal health coverage (UHC). Since the fiscal space is constrained, trade-offs need to be made. But some trade-offs are unacceptable on the path to universal coverage. Unacceptable choices include, among other examples from low-income countries, to expand coverage for services wit...
متن کاملDefining Pathways and Trade-offs Toward Universal Health Coverage; Comment on “Ethical Perspective: Five Unacceptable Trade-offs on the Path to Universal Health Coverage”
The World Health Organization’s (WHO’s) World Health Report 2010, “Health systems financing, the path to universal coverage,” promoted universal health coverage (UHC) as an aspirational objective for country health systems. Yet, in addition to the dimensions of services and coverage, distribution of coverage in the population, and financial risk protection highlighted by the report, the conside...
