# Industrial Specification: Rule Matching Unit

## 1. Technical Definition
A computational component within a Classification Engine that compares input data against predefined rules to determine appropriate classifications.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.8-1.2 V at 2.5 GHz clock frequency, 65-85°C junction temperature**. Failure boundary: **1.5 V supply voltage threshold causing dielectric breakdown in 7nm FinFET transistors**, Mechanism: **Electromigration in copper interconnects exceeding 1×10⁶ A/cm² current density at 110°C, leading to open-circuit failure**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Clock signal jitter exceeding 50 ps RMS at 2.5 GHz | 8 | Timing violation causing metastability in flip-flops, producing erroneous classification outputs | Phase-locked loop with 0.1 ps RMS jitter and clock tree synthesis with 15 ps skew limit |
| Alpha particle strike with 5 MeV energy depositing 10 fC charge in SRAM cell | 8 | Single-event upset flipping rule bit in configuration memory, causing incorrect pattern matching | Error-correcting code with Hamming distance 4 and triple modular redundancy for critical rule storage |
