In this paper an embedded IDDQ testing architecture is presented that targets to overcome the excessive hardware overhead requirements in built-in current sensing based testing ap...
- This paper investigates important problems involved in the design of a CML buffer as well as a chain of tapered CML buffers. A new design procedure to systematically design a cha...
The internal-switching induced simultaneous switching noise (SSN) is studied in the paper. Unlike ground bounce caused by driving off-chip loading, both power-rail and ground-rail...
Noise figure is a commonly used system parameter that quantifies the degradation in the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as the signal passes through a receiving system. Because of the...
In this paper, we evaluate the dependencies between tools, data and environment in process design kits, and present a framework for systematically analyzing the quality of the des...
