Title
March Pre: an Efficient Test for Resistive-Open Defects in the SRAM Pre-charge Circuit
Abstract
In this paper, we first present an exhaustive study on the influence of resistive-open defects in the precharge circuit of SRAMs. We show that these defects may disturb the pre-charge circuit, thus disturbing the read operation. This faulty behavior can be modeled by two types of dynamic faults called Un-Restored Write Faults (URWFs) and Un-Restored Read Faults (URRFs). For this type of faults, we next propose a new test algorithm called March Pre. The main advantage of March Pre is its complexity, which is twice lower (2.5N) than that of the reference MATS+ algorithm (5N). On the other side, an obvious shortcoming is that it targets only faults in pre-charge circuits. However, with its properties, March Pre makes the test but also the diagnosis easier in SRAM memories sensitive to pre-charge defects.
