  • Patent number: 10734993
    Abstract: The optimal operating voltage of a complex SoC may be influenced by process variations. The operating voltages may be dynamically adjusted for optimal performance. These adjustments require a dynamic reconfiguration of the voltage monitoring thresholds in the power on reset circuitry of the SoC.

  • Patent number: 10134483
    Abstract: A large-scale integrated circuit with built-in self-repair (BISR) circuitry for enabling redundancy repair for embedded memories in each of a plurality of processor cores with embedded built-in self-test (BIST) circuitry. The BISR circuitry receives and decodes BIST data from the embedded memories into fail signature data in a physical-aware form on which repair analysis can be performed. The fail signature data is reformatted into a unified repair format, such that a fuse encoder circuit can be used to encode fuse patterns in that unified repair format for a repair entity for each of the embedded memories. The fuse patterns are reconfigured into the appropriate order for storing in shadow fuse registers associated with the specific embedded memories.
