Optimization-based multifrequency test generation for analog circuits

A robust test set for analog circuits has to detect faults under maximal masking effects due to variations of circuit parameters in their tolerance box. In this paper we propose an optimization based multifrequency test generation method for detecting parametric faults in linear analog circuits. Given a set of performances and a frequency range, our approach selects the test frequencies that maximize the observability on a circuit performance of a parameter deviation under the worst masking effects of normal variations of the other parameters. Experimental results are provided and validated by HSpice simulations to illustrate the proposed approach.     

The impact of Miller and coupling effects on single event transient in logical circuits

With feature size scaling down, Miller feedback effects of gate-to-drain capacitance for transistors and coupling effects between interconnects will dramatically affect single event transient (SET) generation and propagation in combinational logic circuits. Two ways of ICs are arranged: linear and “S” types. For pulse width and delay time, SET propagations in two layouts of digital circuits are compared under considering the coupling effects between interconnects. An analytical model is used to describe the impact of Miller and coupling effects on SET propagation. A criterion for SET occurrence in digital circuits with effects of coupling and Miller feedback is presented. The influence of temperature and technology node on SET generation and propagation is analyzed. The results indicate that (1) the existence of these effects will improve the critical charge for SET generation and also reduce the estimated SER, and (2) the way of “S” type is more immune to SET than the scheme of linear.     

System-level design for test of fully differential analog circuits

Several designs for test techniques for fully differential circuits have recently been proposed. These techniques are based on the inherent data encoding, the fully differential analog code (FDAC), present in differential circuits. These techniques have not previously been verified experimentally. In this paper, we report results from a fabricated test chip which incorporates design for test structures. The test chip is a fully differential fifth-order filter, and was fabricated on a 2-μm CMOS process. The test techniques implemented are derived from a system-level technique developed earlier. The test chip contains fault injection circuitry to emulate faults. Our results demonstrate that the FDAC is a viable design for test technique for analog circuits

Selecting measurements to test the functional behavior of analog circuits

This paper presents a method for functional testing of analog circuits, on the basis of circuit sensitivities. The approach selects the minimum number of measurements that allows a precise prediction of a circuit's functional behavior. A criterion is applied to this predicted behavior to determine if the circuit functions according to specifications. The presented method combines a matrix decomposition technique (the singular value decomposition) with an iterative algorithm to select measurements. The number of measurements is determined on the basis of the desired precision of the response prediction and the influence of random measurement errors. Examples demonstrate that the resulting method tests the functional circuit behavior with a high precision, even in the presence of large measurement errors.     

Low-cost test of embedded RF/analog/mixed-signal circuits in SOPs

Increasing levels of integration and high speeds of operation have made the problem of testing complex systems-on-packages (SOPs) very difficult. Testing packages with multigigahertz RF and optical components is even more difficult as external tester costs tend to escalate rapidly beyond 3 GHz. The extent of the problem can be gauged by the fact that test cost is approaching almost 40% of the total manufacturing cost of these packages. To alleviate test costs, various solutions relying on built-off test (BOT) and built-in test (BIT) of embedded high-speed components of SOPs have been developed. These migrate some of the external tester functions to the tester load board (BOT) and to the package and the die encapsulated in the package (BIT) in an "intelligent" manner. This paper provides a discussion of the emerging BOT and BIT schemes for embedded high-speed RF/analog/mixed-signal circuits in SOPs. The pros and cons of each scheme are discussed and preliminary available data on case studies are presented.     

Experimental study on the single event effects in pulse width modulators by laser testing

This paper presents single event effect (SEE) characteristics of UC1845AJ pulse width modulators (PWMs) by laser testing. In combination with analysis to map PWM circuitry in the microchip dies, the typical SEE response waveforms for laser pulses located in different circuit blocks of UC1845AJ are obtained and the SEE mechanisms are analyzed. The laser SEE test results show that there are some differences in the SEE mechanisms of different circuit blocks, and phase shifts or changes in the duty cycles of few output pulses are the main SEE behaviors for UC1845AJ. In addition, a new SEE behavior which manifests as changes in the duty cycles of many output pulses is revealed. This means that an SEE hardened design should be considered.     

Test generation for specification test of analog circuits using efficient test response observation methods

In this paper, a new automated test generation methodology for specification testing of analog circuits using test point selection and efficient analog test response waveform capture methods for enhancing the test accuracy is proposed. The proposed approach co-optimizes the construction of a multi-tone sinusoidal test stimulus and the selection of the best set of test response observation points. For embedded analog circuits, it uses a subsampling-based digitization method compatible with IEEE 1149.1 to accurately digitize the analog test response waveforms. The proposed specification approach uses ‘alternate test’ framework, in which the specifications of the analog circuit-under-test are computed (predicted) using statistical regression models that are constructed based on process variations and corresponding variations of test responses captured from different test observation points. The test generation process and the test point selection process aim to maximize the accuracy of specification prediction. Experimental results validating the proposed specification test approach are presented.     

Modeling the sensitivity of CMOS circuits to radiation induced single event transients

An accurate and computer efficient analytical model for the evaluation of integrated circuit sensitivity to radiation induced single event transients is presented. The key idea of the work is to exploit a model that allows the rapid determination of the sensitivity of any MOS circuit to single event transients (SETs), without the need to run circuit level simulations. To accomplish this task, both single event transient generation and its propagation through circuit logic stages are characterized and modeled. The model predicts whether or not a particle hit generates a transient pulse which may propagate to the next logic gate or memory element. The electrical masking (attenuation) of the transient pulse as it propagates through each stage of logic until it reaches a memory element is also modeled. Model derivation is in strong relation with circuit electrical behavior, being consistent with technology scaling. The model is suitable for integration into CAD-Tools, intending to make automated evaluation of circuit sensitivity to SEU possible.
