SLM SMS IP

Synopsys SLM SMS IP is a comprehensive, integrated test, repair and diagnostics solution that supports repairable or non-repairable embedded memories across any foundry or process node. Silicon-proven in over a billion chips on a range of process nodes, Synopsys SLM SMS IP is a cost-effective solution for improving test quality and repair of manufacturing faults found in advanced processes. Synopsys SLM SMS IP is highly automated design implementation and diagnostic flow, including Silicon Browser and Yield Accelerator, enables SoC designers to achieve quick design closure and significantly improve time-to-market and time-to-yield in volume production.

Synopsys SLM SMS IP includes optimized test algorithms specifically targeted at increasing coverage for memory defects like process variation and resistive faults that are prevalent at smaller process nodes, including 14/16-nm and 7-nm FinFET.
