Method and system for saving the state of integrated circuits upon failure

摘要

Method and system for saving the state of integrated circuit chips upon failure. In one aspect of the invention, a system for saving the state of an integrated circuit includes a non-volatile memory and a state-saving controller coupled to the non-volatile memory and coupled to the integrated circuit, where the state-saving controller saves the state of the integrated circuit to the non-volatile memory when a failure occurs in the integrated circuit.
