An embedded rectifier-based built-in-test (BIT) detection circuit for the RF integrated circuits is proposed, and is adopted to transform the RF output signal into DC signal. In this BIT circuit, low threshold voltage MOS transistor with positive substrate bias is used to act as diode to further improve the detecting sensitivity. With this BIT circuit, the minimum input testing sensitivity can be improved to -50dBm. Also, this circuit doesn't consume current and has very high operating frequency scalability. As an example 2.4GHz low noise amplifier has been verified by using this BIT detection circuit, and gain and linearity are extracted

The paper introduces a novel idea of interconnect fault detection, localization and identification based on test response compaction using a MISR. The above-mentioned operations are made at-speed. The localization is done by means of three long, full diagnostic resolution sequences: Walking 1 (W1), Walking 0 (W0) and a part of Johnson sequence (J). The final fault identification phase exploits information stored in two or three signatures

This paper presents a performance analysis and evaluation of six different 1-bit full adder topologies in deep subthreshold operation. The cells are characterized with respect to delay, power consumption, driving capability, power-delay product (PDP), energy-delay product (EDP) and maximum operating frequency. Both traditional CMOS, a specialized low power cell and minority-3 based full adders are simulated and characterized. PDPs of less than 200 aJ are reported, for FA cells operating at frequencies around 2 MHz, for Vdd=200 mV, dissipating less than 100 nW of average power

Distributed sensor networks are a fast developing scenario. Ambient assisted living (AAL) is among those scenarios, with ever-growing importance among developed countries with aging population. The smallest components of these systems are the chip size sensors that have embedded sensing, data processing and transmitting capabilities. A strong need is arising to develop integrated means of powering these sensors. Our paper investigates requirements against chips and powering issues and proposes a sample MOS technology compatible array of solar cells integrated on the same wafer as the integrated circuit. The aim of this design is to help to the development of "pin free" autonomous sensor packages

In this paper, we describe a system for transforming a code given in ANSI C into an equivalent SystemC description. In order to synthesize parallel C codes into hardware, we applied the directives of OpenMP, a de-facto standard that specifies portable implementations of shared memory parallel programs. The proposed design flow utilizing this system is outlined and some implementation details are provided

Hardware accelerators for H.264/AVC using arithmetic coding require special approaches to achieve high throughputs. This paper proposes an efficient architecture for the context formatter that is a part of the H.264/AVC binary encoder. Five versions of the architecture are developed to match different throughputs. The implementation results show that the proposed versions of the context formatter match the performance of corresponding arithmetic coders
