This paper describes work in progress towards the development, evaluation and validation of a structural, cost effective and quantifiable analog and mixed-signal test methodology, applicable in a production test environment and based on the application of supply current testing. To enable and support the measurements at first an analog supply current monitor was realised. The monitor offers a measurement range of 50 mA, a bandwidth of 1.5 MHz and a resolution better than 1 A. Subsequently the monitor was used to carry out measurements on a mixed-signal Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) ASIC, to evaluate the feasibility of the methodology. As these initial measurements provided very interesting results, the experiments towards the validation and quantification of the test methodology are now being repeated on a larger scale. The results gathered so far show the potential of the approach to enhance test quality combined with test cost reduction. 相似文献

The design and testing of mixed-signal integrated circuits have enjoyed a renaissance in recent years. As is customary with past developments, however, design outpaces testing, and the drive to integrate analog and digital circuits on the same chip exacerbates the test problems. This article reviews the recent results in analog fault modeling-a critical area of mixed-signal testing-and describes the coming challenges for both industrial and university researchers 相似文献

This work proposes the use of a simple 1-bit digitizer as an analog block observer, in order to enable the implementation of on-line test strategies for RF analog circuits in the System-on-Chip environment. The main advantages of using a simple digitizer for RF circuits are related to the increased observability of the RF signal path and minimum RF signal degradation, as neither reconfiguration of the signal path nor variable load for the analog RF circuit are introduced. As an additional advantage, the same digitizer can be used to implement BIST strategies, if required. The feasibility of using a 1-bit digitizer for the test of analog signals has already been presented in the literature for low frequency linear analog systems. This paper discusses the implementation of an on-line test strategy for analog RF circuits in the SoC environment, and presents new results for on-line RF testing. Moreover, we also provide detailed analysis regarding the overhead of the test strategy implementation. Experimental results illustrate the feasibility of the proposed technique.Marcelo Negreiros was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 1969.

For mixed-signal cores on System-on-a-Chip (SoC) platforms, the current methodology in test development is to use special
test modes for block isolation such that mixed-signal cores are accessible from the chip boundary through a well-defined interface.
Since the access mechanism to the core is preserved, this method facilitates fast test development when the core is re-used
on another SoC. In order to obtain the shortest per-device test times on low-cost test platforms, we explore the option of
operating the SoC in its designed functional mode where all on-chip resources are fully available for test support. We demonstrate
this new method for a microcontroller with embedded ADCs. For high-volume products, the ultimate target is to minimize test
costs by maximizing the efficiency of testing multiple devices in parallel on one tester. We demonstrate two benefits of testing
in a functional mode that increases parallel test efficiency: (1) Simultaneous testing of multiple on-chip cores, and (2) On-chip
post-processing to reduce the amount of test data. 相似文献

As predicted by technology roadmaps, embedded micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) is yet another step in the continuous search for higher levels of integration and miniaturization. MEMS are analog components and the test paradigm is similar to the case of analog and mixed-signal circuits. However, given the fact that they work with signals other than electrical, the test of these embedded parts poses new challenges. In this paper, we will review some recent works in this field and we will present a complete approach to MEMS built-in-self-test (BIST) based on pseudorandom testing. 相似文献

We present industrial results of a quiescent current testing technique suitable for RF testing. The operational method consists of ramping the power supply and of observing the corresponding quiescent current signatures. When the power supply is swept, all transistors are forced into various regions of operation. This has as advantage that the detection of faults is done for multiple supply voltages and corresponding quiescent currents, enhancing in this form the detectability of faults. We found that this method of structural testing yields fault coverage results comparable to functional RF tests making it a potential and attractive technique for production wafer testing due to its low cost, low testing times and low frequency requirements.José Pineda de Gyvez received the Ph.D. degree from the Eindhoven University of Technology.

For reducing the test application time and required tester pins per device, we propose the use of multi-valued logic (MVL) signals, which increases data rate between the device under test (DUT) and automatic test equipment (ATE). An MVL signal sends multiple bits of information per clock cycle on a physical channel. Conversion of signals between binary and MVL is accomplished by digital to analog and analog to digital converters available in the mixed-signal technology. To support MVL test application and avoid reliability issues, we add necessary modifications on ATE and DUT sides. Theoretical calculation and a prototype experiment demonstrate significant data rate increase. We integrate the proposed MVL technique into test methodologies involving reduced pin-count test (RPCT) for multi-core system-on-chip (SoC) and test compression. An actual automatic test equipment (ATE) based test of a DUT shows notable reduction in test application time with MVL test application. 相似文献

People encounter mixed-signal system-on-a-chip (SOC) devices in our daily lives in a broad range of products. Consumer products like PDAs, automobiles, and appliances all contain microcontrollers, battery management, and power chips; these can be mixed-signal devices. They use broadband products such as set-top boxes, cable modems, DSL, and DVD players that contain mixed-signal devices. Wireless products, cordless phones, cellular phones, WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS receivers, and cable tuners also contain mixed-signal SOC devices. The content of the mixed-signal SOC device is characterized by different types of cores. They may be analog cores or digital cores. Many applications include mixed analog and digital cores such as digital-to-analog converters (DACs) and analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). These devices can provide complete system functionality on a single chip. One of the important principles to improving test economics is to ensure that test times are as low as possible. When testing, it is important that the test system is not adding overhead time. Beyond fast test software, the device-limited test speed is approached when tester operations execute in parallel with device operation. The architecture of the test system is key when approaching test times that are device limited. This can be achieved with a test system architecture that controls instrumentation precisely in device clock time. Mixed-signal device testing has adopted the use of DSP techniques to obtain a set of test measurements from large data sets. Each core within the device can produce data simultaneously. In the case of the device described earlier, there may be three video converters and five audio converters, all producing large amounts of data. 相似文献
