摘 要:Increasing process variability limits energy reduction in SRAM design by increasing the need for margining and preventing optimal supply voltage scaling. However, tolerating variability with resilient designs can prevent these limitations and enable future energy-efficiency improvements. Understanding resiliency requires understanding how design decisions affect error rates—therefore we propose a unified analytical framework for SRAM design that uses importance sampling of dynamic failure metrics to quantify the effect of different assist techniques, array organization, and timing on failure rates of a 28nm arrays at design-time.
