Optimization of Circuits Having Repeatable Circuit Instances

An apparatus adapted to form a first electronic circuit including a plurality of instances of a repeatable circuit element, the apparatus comprising:

• memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and operative:
• (i) to receive a total number of instances of the repeatable circuit element in a design of an integrated circuit including the first electronic circuit and at least a second electronic circuit;
• and (ii) to configure at least one functional parameter of the first electronic circuit as a function of the total number of instances of the repeatable circuit element in the design of the integrated circuit to thereby satisfy at least one of a prescribed minimum composite manufacturing yield of the integrated circuit and at least one specification of the integrated circuit under prescribed operating conditions.

A semiconductor structure, comprising:

• a first integrated circuit die;
• and
• at least a second integrated circuit die mechanically mounted proximate to and electrically interconnected with the first integrated circuit die, at least one of the first and at least second integrated circuit die comprising:
• a plurality of electronic circuits, each of the electronic circuits including one or more instances of a repeatable circuit element;
• and
• a control circuit coupled to the plurality of electronic circuits, the control circuit being operative to control at least one functional parameter of at least a subset of the plurality of electronic circuits as a function of at least one of a total number of instances of the repeatable circuit element, an interaction of the plurality of instances of the repeatable circuit element with one another, and a manner in which the plurality of instances of the repeatable circuit element are utilized in the semiconductor structure.
