Need clarity on the FIT SER spreadsheet.(not sure if I may copy and paste the whole table)
FIT is divided into recoverable and unrecoverable. System SRAM blocks are considered as fully recoverable and code cache is 99% recoverable (low,<200ms).
SER FIT rate (FITs/device) | |
Max SER potential | SER w/ECC |
49 | 49 |
w/ECC means With ECC or without ECC?
why we are adding recoverable and unrecoverable FITs?
please clarify
Hi,
Please find below the answers to the following query:
Ans 1: w/ECC means with ECC. ECC is 100% effective for that particular memory. So, that’s why SER w/ECC is same as the Max SER Potential and therefore, unrecoverable FIT = 0
Ans 2: We are adding recoverable and unrecoverable FIT’s because not all ECC's are 100% effective for all memories and the faults of memory which are not covered by ECC/Parity are transferred under unrecoverable FIT.
Kind Regards,
Rupal
