As memory bit cells of any type become smaller, bit error rates increase due to lower margins and process variation. This can be dealt with using error correction to ...

Tessent MemoryBIST from Siemens EDA provides a complete solution for at-speed test, diagnosis, repair, debug and characterization of embedded memories. Leveraging a flexible hierarchical architecture, ...

For the uninitiated, low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is an error correction code (ECC) that is used to both detect and correct errors on data that is transmitted ...

Error Correction Codes (ECC) play an essential role in safeguarding memory systems by detecting and correcting errors that arise from various sources, including ...

How do we achieve the lowest failure rates in our NAND flash-based system? You may have had this discussion amongst your engineering team or with your storage system supplier. What steps are being ...

Communication-system designers have always had to deal with trade-offs among data reliability, efficient use of available spectrum, data throughput, and cost. Error-correction coding (ECC) is one of ...

The scaling of semiconductor technologies has led to a lower operating voltage in semiconductor devices, which, in turn, reduces the charge available on the capacitors for volatile memories. The ...
