Embedded memories occupy an increasingly dominant part of the area and power budgets of modern systems-on-chips (SoCs). Multi-ported embedded memories, commonly used by media SoCs and graphical processing units, occupy even more area and consume higher pow ...
Given the increasing ubiquity of online embedded devices, analyzing their firmware is important to security, privacy, and safety. The tight coupling between hardware and firmware and the diversity found in embedded systems makes it hard to perform dynamic ...
An efficient signaling scheme for serial-data transceivers (TRXs) has been proposed, which can properly reduce inter-symbol interference (ISI) and crosstalk (Xtalk) in memory interfaces. The proposed architecture relies on fully-digital implementation rath ...
The floating gate (FG) potential VFG in a non–volatile flash memory (NVM) device is the main parameter controlling the behavior of the cell. A common technique to model VFG is based on the calculation of the coupling coefficients between all the terminals ...
New applications demand very high processing power when run on embedded systems. Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architectures have emerged as a promising alternative to provide such processing capabilities under the given energy budget. However, in this ...
