SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HANDLING NEGATIVE BIAS TEMPERATURE INSTABILITY STRESS IN MEMORY BITCELLS

摘要

A system and method reduce stress caused by NBTI effects by determining if a trigger event has occurred and if so inverting all input data values to the memory and all output data values from the memory during a period of time defined by the determined trigger event. In one embodiment, the trigger event is an alternate memory power-up.
