  • Error Detection and Correction Methods for Memories Used in System-On-Chip Designs
    International Journal of Engineering and Advanced Technology (IJEAT) ISSN: 2249 – 8958, Volume-8, Issue-2S2, January 2019 Error Detection and Correction Methods for Memories used in System-on-Chip Designs Gunduru Swathi Lakshmi, Neelima K, C. Subhas ABSTRACT— Memory is the basic necessity in any SoC Static Random Access Memory (SRAM): It design. Memories are classified into single port memory and consists of a latch or flipflop to store each bit of multiport memory. Multiport memory has ability to source more memory and it does not required any refresh efficient execution of operation and high speed performance operation. SRAM is mostly used in cache memory when compared to single port. Testing of semiconductor memories is increasing because of high density of current in the and in hand-held devices. It has advantages like chips. Due to increase in embedded on chip memory and memory high speed and low power consumption. It has density, the number of faults grow exponentially. Error detection drawback like complex structure and expensive. works on concept of redundancy where extra bits are added for So, it is not used for high capacity applications. original data to detect the error bits. Error correction is done in Read Only Memory (ROM): It is a non-volatile memory. two forms: one is receiver itself corrects the data and other is It can only access data but cannot modify data. It is of low receiver sends the error bits to sender through feedback. Error detection and correction can be done in two ways. One is Single cost. Some applications of ROM are scanners, ID cards, Fax bit and other is multiple bit.

Due to the fluctuations in bit-line intrinsic Metal-2 and coupling capacitances, the amount of noise coupled to a selected bit line may vary, resulting in the Via-1 reduction of sensing margin. In this paper, we propose a dynamic bit-line shielding (DBS) technique, suitable Metal-1 to be implemented in compliable ROM, to eliminate the Contact crosstalk-induced read failure and to achieve full code coverage. Experiments of the 256Kb instances with Diffusion Diffusion Diffusion and without the DBS circuit were undertaken using STI STI STI STI 0.25µm and 0.18µm standard CMOS processes. The test results demonstrate the read-1 failures and Fig. 1.

  • Refresh Operation and Semi-Conductor Rom Memories
    REFRESH OPERATION AND SEMI-CONDUCTOR ROM MEMORIES The Refresh control block periodically generates Refresh, requests, causing the access control block to start a memory cycle in the normal way. This block allows the refresh operation by activating the Refresh Grant line. The access control block arbitrates between Memory Access requests and Refresh requests, with priority to Refresh requests in the case of a tie to ensure the integrity of the stored data. As soon as the Refresh control block receives the Refresh Grant signal, it activates the Refresh line. This causes the address multiplexer to select the Refresh counter as the source and its contents are thus loaded into the row address latches of all memory chips when the RAS signal is activated. During this time the R/ W line may be low, causing an inadvertent write operation. One way to prevent this is to use the Refresh line to control the decoder block to deactivate all the chip select lines. The rest of the refresh cycle is the same as in a normal cycle. At the end, the Refresh control block increments the refresh counter in preparation for the next Refresh cycle. Even though the row address has 8 bits, the Refresh counter need only be 7 bits wide because of the cell organization inside the memory chips. In a 64k x 1 memory chip, the 256x256 cell array actually consists of two 128x256 arrays. The low order 7 bits of the row address select a row from both arrays and thus the row from both arrays is refreshed! Ideally, the refresh operation should be transparent to the CPU.

  • Memory Basics
    Memory Basics • RAM: Random Access Memory – historically defined as memory array with individual bit access – refers to memory with both Read and Write capabilities • ROM : Read Only Memory – no capabilities for “online” memory Write operations – Write typically requires high volt ages or erasing by UV light • Volatility of Memory – volatile memory loses data over time or when power is removed • RAM is volatile – non-volatile memory stores data even when power is removed • ROM is non-volatile • Static vs. Dynamic Memory – Static: holds data as long as power is applied (SRAM) – Dynamic: must be refreshed periodically (DRAM) ECE 410, Prof. A. Mason/Prof. F. Salem Lecture Notes 13.1 SRAM Basics • SRAM = Static Random Access Memory – Static: holds data as long as power is applied – Volatile: can not hold data if power is removed • Operation States – 3 states (modes) • hold • write WL • read • Basic 6T (transistor) SRAM Cell – bistable (cross-coupled) INVs for storage – access transistors MAL & MAR MAL MAR • access to stored data for read and write – word line, WL, controls access bit bit • WL = 0, hold operation • WL = 1, read or write operation ECE 410, Prof. A. Mason/Prof. F. Salem Lecture Notes 13.2 SRAM Operations • Hold – word line = 0, access transistors are OFF – data held in latch • Write WL – word line = 1, access tx are ON – new data (voltage) applied to bit and bit_bar – data in latch overwritten with new value MAL MAR • Read bit bit – word line = 1, access tx are ON – bit and bit_bar read by a sense amplifier • Sense Amplifier – basically a simple differential (transconductance) amplifier – comparing the difference between bit and bit_bar • if bit > bit_bar, output is 1 • if bit < bit_bar, output is 0 • allows output to be set quickly without fully charging/discharging bit line ECE 410, Prof.

Non‐volatile 9 memory devices are electrically programmable and erasable to store charge in a location within the 10 device and to retain that charge when voltage supply from the device is disconnected. The 11 non‐volatile memory is typically a semiconductor memory comprising thousands of individual 12 transistors configured on a substrate to form a matrix of rows and columns of memory cells. 13 Non‐volatile memories are used in digital computing devices for the storage of data. In this paper 14 we have given introduction including a brief survey on upcoming NVMʹs such as FeRAM, MRAM, 15 CBRAM, PRAM, SONOS, RRAM, Racetrack memory and NRAM. In future Non‐volatile memory 16 may eliminate the need for comparatively slow forms of secondary storage systems, which include 17 hard disks. 18 Keywords: Non‐volatile Memories; NAND Flash Memories; Storage Memories 19 PACS: J0101 20 21 22 1. Introduction 23 Memory is divided into two main parts: volatile and nonvolatile. Volatile memory loses any 24 data when the system is turned off; it requires constant power to remain viable. Most kinds of 25 random access memory (RAM) fall into this category.

  • Semiconductor Memories: Rams and Roms
    Semiconductor Memories: RAMs and ROMs Lesson Objectives: In this lesson you will be introduced to: ¾ Different memory devices like, RAM, ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM, etc. ¾ Different terms like: read, write, access time, nibble, byte, bus, word, word length, address, volatile, non-volatile etc. ¾ How to implement combinational and sequential circuits using ROM. Introduction: The smallest unit of information a digital system can store is a bit, which can be stored in a flip-flop or a 1-bit register. To store m bits of data, an m-bit register with parallel load capability may be used. Data available on the m-bit input lines (I0 to Im-1) may be stored/written into this register under control of the clock by asserting the “Load” control input. The stored m bits of data may be read from the register outputs (O0 to Om-1). The m bits of data stored in a register make up a word. It is simply a number of bits operated upon or considered by the hardware as a group. The number of bits in the word, m, is called word length. The m inputs of the register are provided through an m-bit input data bus and m outputs by an m-bit output data bus. A bus is a number of signal lines, grouped together because of similarity of function, which connect two or more systems or subsystems. A unit of 8-bits of information is referred to as a byte, while 4-bits of information is referred to as a nibble. A memory device can be looked at as consisting of a number of equally sized registers sharing a common set of inputs, and a common set of outputs, as shown in the Figure.
