Direct measurement test structures for measuring static random access memory static noise margin

A test structure for measuring static noise margin (SNM) for one or more static random access memory (SRAM) cells can include a first transistor gate (TG) and a second TG electrically coupled to each SRAM cell. In an implementation, an interconnect between an output of a first inverter and an input of a second inverter of the SRAM cell can be electrically disconnected using a cut off. During operation of the SRAM cell, internal storage nodes within the SRAM cell can be electrically coupled through the first TG and the second TG to, for example, external pins and to a test fixture. Electrical parameters such as voltage can be measured at the internal storage nodes through the external pins and used to calculate SNM of the SRAM cell.

Method and apparatus for managing global chip power on a multicore system on chip

According to at least one example embodiment, a method and corresponding apparatus for controlling power in a multi-core processor chip include: accumulating, at a controller within the multi-core processor chip, one or more power estimates associated with multiple core processors within the multi-core processor chip. A global power threshold is determined based on a cumulative power estimate, the cumulative power estimate being determined based at least in part on the one or more power estimates accumulated. The controller causes power consumption at each of the core processors to be controlled based on the determined global power threshold. The controller may directly control power consumption at the core processors or may command the core processors to do so.

Method, protective device and protective system for detecting a fault on a line of an electrical power supply system

A method detects a fault on a line of an electrical power supply system, in which current values are measured at the line ends of the line and the current values are used to check whether there is a fault on the line. In order to perform monitoring of the line such that faults can be detected comparatively quickly and sensitively, it is proposed that voltage values are also measured at the line ends. The respective measured current and voltage values are used to ascertain respective comparison current values indicating the current flowing at a comparison location on the line and the respective comparison current values are used to check for the presence of a fault on the line, and a fault signal is generated if the check has resulted in a fault present on the line being detected.
