Abstract: Techniques to provide transaction redundancy in an IC include receiving an original memory access request directed to a first memory aperture, constructing a redundant memory access directed to a second memory aperture, and selectively returning a response of the first or second memory aperture to an originator based on contents of the responses. For a write operation, if acknowledgement indicators of the responses indicate success, a response is returned to the originator. For a read operation, if acknowledgement indicators of the responses indicate success and data returned in the response match one another, a response is returned to the originator. If the acknowledgement indicators indicate success, but the data does not match, a retry of the original and redundant read requests is initiated. If any of the acknowledgement indicators do not indicate success, an error is declared. In a mixed-criticality embodiment, the redundant memory access request may be constructed selectively.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe wrapping non-safety compliant hardware resources with error detection checking to satisfy a safety standard. Doing so permits non-safety compliant hardware to be used to perform one or more tasks in a system that, as a whole, satisfies a particular safety standard (e.g., one of the ASIL QM, A, B, C, and D grades).

Abstract: Some examples described herein provide for an on-die virtual probe in an integrated circuit structure for measurement of voltages. In an example, an integrated circuit comprises a voltage-controlled frequency oscillator circuitry and a processor circuitry. The voltage-controlled frequency oscillator circuitry comprises a plurality of circuitry components and is configured to generate a signal having a frequency related to a supply voltage. The voltage-controlled frequency oscillator circuitry is disposed at a location of the integrated circuit proximal to the supply voltage being monitored. The processor circuitry is configured to identify a relationship between the frequency of the signal and the supply voltage. The processor circuitry is also configured to determine a value of the supply voltage associated with the signal based on the identified relationship. The processor circuitry further monitors on-die transient voltages at the location of the integrated circuit based on the value of the supply voltage.
