CIRCUITS AND TECHNIQUES FOR PREDICTING END OF LIFE BASED ON IN SITU MONITORS AND LIMIT VALUES DEFINED FOR THE IN SITU MONITORS

In some examples, a circuit comprises a function unit configured to perform a circuit function, and one or more in situ monitors configured to measure internal data associated with the circuit. The circuit may further comprise a memory configured to store one or more limit values associated with the...

Zusammenfassung:In some examples, a circuit comprises a function unit configured to perform a circuit function, and one or more in situ monitors configured to measure internal data associated with the circuit. The circuit may further comprise a memory configured to store one or more limit values associated with the one or more in situ monitors, and a lifetime model unit configured to determine whether the circuit has reached an end-of-life threshold based on the measured internal data from the one or more in situ monitors and the limit values.
