    Abstract: Methods of a scan partitioning a circuit are disclosed. One method includes calculating a power score for circuit cells within a circuit design based on physical cell parameters of the circuit cells. For each of the circuit cells, the circuit cell is assigned to a scan group according to the power score for the circuit cell and a total power score for each scan group. A plurality of scan chains is formed. Each of the scan chains is formed from the circuit cells in a corresponding scan group based at least in part on placement data within the circuit design for each of the circuit cells. Interconnect power consumption can be assessed to determine routing among circuit cells in the scan chains.

    Abstract: A memory circuit includes a stack of first dies including multiple sets of memory cells of a first type, a second die including multiple sets of memory cells of a second type, a third die, and an interposer carrying the first, second, and third dies. The second die includes a first set of input/output (I/O) terminals on a top surface of the second die and a second set of I/O terminals on a bottom surface of the second die. The stack of first dies is coupled to the second die through the first set of I/O terminals. The interposer is coupled to the second die through the second set of I/O terminals. The third die is positioned aside the second die and in communication with the second die through the interposer.
