How much area will be added, if use iSTART MBIST

Post by iSTART »

ISTART MBIST uses hardware sharing architecture. So, it will add less circuit and the proportion of MBIST area will drop rapidly while the memory exceeds 4 instances. The proportion of MBIST does not increase with the amount of memory.
From following statistics, compare to memory area, if memory exceed 4 instances, the proportion of MBIST stays on around 4%
