This paper describes the design and implementation of a macro-dependent self-test compiler. The compiler requires information from the designer about the type and size of the macro that has to be generated. Dependent on the desired faultcoverage, the compiler automatically generates the layout of the macro, including the appropriate data-generation and evaluation self-test hardware. A scan path, based on the boundary-scan principle, is used to initialize the self-test hardware.

INTRODUCTION A lM-bit nulti-port RAM has been developed for high-resolution graphics where compact size, high speed and capacity are important. This device is divided into a 256K words x 4-bit RAM port and a 512 x 4-bit Serial Access Memory (SAM) port. The RAM port performs standard Dynamic RAM operations, logic operations, special data transfer operations, and flash write operations. The SAM port with 2,048-bit double data registers inputs or outputs the data in a serial order. The RAM port and the SAM port can operate asynchronously. This paper describes the circuit designs that permit a small chip size and new optional functions (special read data transfer and flash write), and the electrical characteristics.

A new approach for the optimization of high-speed amplifiers dedicated to SC integrators is presented. Inverter-based pseudo-differential structures are shown to be well-suited to high speed applications. The problem of their inherently poor PSRR is solved by an on-chip low-area voltage regulator. An algorithmic method developed for the computer-aided synthesis of the amplifier is described. Experimental results are presented for a SC filter with a 5MHz cut-off frequency at 50 Mhz sampling. PSSR performance and validity of the automatic dimensioning are finally discussed.

A temperature-compensation circuit technique for a dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) with an on-chip voltage limiter is evaluated using a 1-Mb BiCMOS DRAM. It was found that a BiCMOS bandgap reference generator scheme yields an internal voltage immune from temperature and V/sub cc/ variation. Also, bipolar-transistor-oriented memory circuits, such as a static BiCMOS word driver, improve delay time at high temperatures. Furthermore, the BiCMOS driver proves to have better temperature characteristics than the CMOS driver. Finally, a 1-Mb BiCMOS DRAM using the proposed technique was found to have better temperature characteristics than the 1-Mb CMOS DRAM which uses similar techniques, as was expected. Thus, BiCMOS DRAMs have improved access time at high temperatures compared with CMOS DRAMs. >
