Abstract
A multi-fingered device can be calibrated for performance. The multi-fingered device can include a first finger configured to remain active and a second finger that is initially deactivated concurrent with the first finger being active. A measure of degradation for the multi-fingered device within an IC can be determined. The measure of degradation can be compared with a degradation threshold. Responsive to determining that the measure of degradation meets the degradation threshold, a finger of the multi-fingered device can be activated.
