Abstract
A chip health monitor includes a processor configured to operate as a state machine based on instructions stored in a storage device. The state machine is configured to exercise a signal path in a chip in response to a condition and determine presence of an error in the signal path based on results from the exercise. The state machine is configured to compensate for the error by changing at least one operational parameter of the chip.
