Acronym and terminology

Integrated circuit

1. ATE $\to$ Automated Test Equipment, for functional test.
2. Die size $\to$ the length and width of the integrated circuit.

Mechanism

1. ECC $\to$ Error Correcting Code
2. FTTI $\to$ Fault Tolerance Time Interval
3. HTOL $\to$ High-temperature operating life
4. HULK license $\to$ Hardware unlock - Secure level

Post-Si Test

1. BNB $\to$ Base not bad
2. DVT $\to$ Design validation test
3. IDDQ $\to$ Iddq testing is a method for testing CMOS integrated circuits for the presence of manufacturing faults. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iddq_testing
4. LUT $\to$ Lookup Table
5. LINPACK $\to$ A software library for performing numerical linear algebra on digital computers.
6. Leftover $\to$ the noise left after NAFLL circuit compensate
7. MEMQUAL $\to$ Memory quality
8. MATH $\to$ Mechanism to Access Test Data over High Speed
9. Milestone: BNB $\to$ base not bad
10. MNB $\to$ Metal Not Bad
11. MG $\to$ Metal good
12. Power gating $\to$ Power gating is a technique used in integrated circuit design to reduce power consumption, by shutting off the current to blocks of the circuit that are not in use. In addition to reducing stand-by or leakage power, power gating has the benefit of enabling Iddq testing.
13. Rail $\to$ DC supply rail. Another name for “rail” is “bus”. If the circuit operates with one supply rail and ground - then ground is considered to be one of the rails.
14. TGP $\to$ Total Graphic Power

4. EOD $\to$ End of day
5. KO $\to$ Kickoff
6. POR $\to$ Plan Of Record
7. Spread to cover or reach a wider or increasing area, or to make something do this E.g. If we spread ourselves too thin, we’ll set ourselves up for failure. “Spread yourself too thin” (verb phrase) means to do so much or so many things that you aren’t able to do any of them well.
8. Workaround $\to$ Find a way to overcome or avoid difficulty or problem.
9. Walk through: guide someone carefully through a process. E.g. Can you walk me through how did you encounter the VMWare’s not starting so we can repro the issue?
10. w.r.t with regard to E.g. Ethan, if you have any data w.r.t this, can you let me know?
