In this paper, we propose a subthreshold SRAM cell structure which can be read differentially. The main advantage of the cell is its high read current while the static noise margin and power consumption are reasonable. The cell is suitable for high performance applications where the speed is of prime concern. To assess the efficiency of the proposed cell, we compare its characteristics to three subthreshold SRAM cell structures recently introduced in the literature. The cells are implemented in both the bulk and SOI-FinFET technologies at the node of 32nm.

Functional verification (namely early verification of multimedia processing capabilities) is one of the main challenges in developing SoC-based products, such as consumer electronic devices and portables that incorporate complex audio and video interfaces. Due to rising design complexity, increasingly intricate hardware/software interactions and rising demand for lower power operation are putting pressure on SoC functional verification strategies. These trends are the threats to SoC predictability and product development schedules. In this paper I am discussing hybrid functional verification methodology well suited for Video/Audio SoC.

Off-the-shelf Integrated Circuits (ICs) are used in the design of many products. The IC is supposed to implement a set of available specifications describing the function of the IC. Users of off-the-shelf ICs need a simple and effective method to validate the specifications to insure that the IC implements exclusively the set of available specifications. In this paper, we propose an approach to validate these specifications by a set of IC re-engineering experiments. The proposed approach is based on the construction of a high-level description of the packaged IC and on using the extracted description to validate the specifications. The approach uses the scan operations (available for manufacturing test of the IC) and the IC specification to disassemble the states/flip-flops and output functions of the packaged IC. Using the disassembled functions, a Register Transfer Level (RTL) model suitable for Computer-Aided Design manipulation is constructed. The disassembling is based on an ATPG scan experiment. Information on the scan chains is employed to construct the connectivity of the logic function. The connectivity is then used to discover the implemented logic. Using the proposed approach, we re-constructed over 90% of the system functions for an example IC.
现成的集成电路(ic)用于许多产品的设计。IC应该实现一组描述IC功能的可用规范。现成IC的用户需要一种简单有效的方法来验证规范,以确保IC只实现一组可用的规范。在本文中,我们提出了一种通过一组集成电路再工程实验来验证这些规范的方法。所提出的方法是基于构建封装IC的高级描述,并使用提取的描述来验证规范。该方法使用扫描操作(可用于IC的制造测试)和IC规范来拆卸封装IC的状态/触发器和输出功能。使用拆卸的功能,构建了适合计算机辅助设计操作的寄存器传输电平(RTL)模型。拆解是基于ATPG扫描实验。利用扫描链上的信息来构造逻辑函数的连通性。然后使用连接性来发现实现的逻辑。利用所提出的方法,我们重构了一个示例IC超过90%的系统功能。

This work presents a novel flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with low input capacitance. Utilizing the proposed distributed track-and-hold pre-comparators (THPCs) architecture, the loading capacitances of the ADC front-end sampling sub-circuits can be markedly reduced, thereby improving operation speed. In a standard 0.18µm CMOS process, a 1.6GS/s 6-bit flash ADC is implemented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed distributed THPC architecture. The equivalent input capacitance of each input port of the proposed flash ADC is only 400fF, which is an easily driven interface. Furthermore, clocked timing buffers are inserted in the encoder to accelerate the operational speed of the proposed flash ADC. Post-layout simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ADC achieves an SNDR of 35.81dB, which is 5.66 ENOB at 1.6GS/s with a 793.8MHz input signal frequency. The proposed ADC consumes 300mW from a 1.8-V supply at full operating speed.

On minimizing various sources of noise and meeting symmetry constraint in mixed-signal SoC floorplan design 混合信号SoC平面设计中最小化各种噪声源和满足对称约束的研究

In recent years, in order to handle various sources of noise (including substrate and power supply noises) and process variation in high-end mixed-signal circuit design, analog circuits are often required to be placed symmetrically to the common axis, and high noise digital circuits need to be placed far away from noise interference to the analog blocks. In this paper, we obtain the mixed-signal SoC floorplan with the two-phase approach. In the first phase, we place the symmetry groups and non-symmetry blocks by sequence pair representation with improved implementation. In the second phase, we obtain a floorplan with minimized digital blocks noise interference to analog blocks by the effective decap fills with substrate noise model. We have compared our experimental results with the recent works in symmetry constraints and mixed-signal SOC floorplan with minimized substrate noise. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
近年来,在高端混合信号电路设计中,为了处理各种噪声源(包括基板和电源噪声)和工艺变化,往往要求模拟电路与共轴对称放置,高噪声数字电路则需要放置在远离噪声干扰的模拟块的地方。在本文中,我们用两相法得到了混合信号SoC的平面图。在第一阶段,我们通过改进的实现,用序列对表示来放置对称群和非对称块。在第二阶段,我们通过衬底噪声模型的有效封装获得了数字块对模拟块噪声干扰最小的平面图。我们将实验结果与最近在对称约束和混合信号SOC平面图方面的工作进行了比较,并最小化了衬底噪声。结果表明我们的方法是有效的。

This paper addresses the issue of blocking pattern selection to reduce both leakage and dynamic power consumption during circuit testing using scan-based approach. The blocking pattern is used to prevent the scan-chain transitions to reach circuit inputs. This, though reduce dynamic power significantly; can result in quite an increase in the leakage power. We have presented a novel approach to select a blocking pattern using Genetic Algorithm and use it properly so that both dynamic and leakage power are reduced. The average improvement in dynamic power is 20.4% and for leakage power it is about 10.8% (best is around 97.0% and 22.8% respectively) with respect to full scan circuit.
本文利用基于扫描的方法解决了在电路测试过程中选择阻塞模式以减少泄漏和动态功耗的问题。阻塞模式用于防止扫描链过渡到电路输入。这虽然大大降低了动态功率;会导致泄漏功率相当大的增加。本文提出了一种利用遗传算法选择阻塞模式的新方法,并对其进行了合理的应用,从而降低了动态功率和泄漏功率。相对于全扫描电路,动态功率的平均改善为20.4%,泄漏功率的平均改善约为10.8%(最好分别在97.0%和22.8%左右)。

In this paper we have investigated the effectiveness of employing the Single Field-Plate (SFP) technique to enhance the breakdown voltage (BV) of AlGaN/GaN power High Electron Mobility Transistors (HEMTs).A systematic procedure is provided for designing the SFP device, using two dimensional (2-D) simulation to obtain the maximum improvement in the drain-source current (IDS) and to achieve maximum breakdown voltage. It is found that significantly higher breakdown voltages and IDS can be achieved by just raising the thickness of the passivation layer Si3N4 beneath SFP (t) and raising SFP length (Lsfp) between the source and drain. We demonstrate that when a single field-plate connected to the source is employed, both breakdown voltage and IDS can be enhanced by optimizing the passivation layer Si3N4 thickness beneath the SFP as well as the SFP geometry.

An automated approach for the diagnosis of multiple faults in FPGA interconnects FPGA互连中多故障的自动诊断方法
Pub Date : 2009-07-15 DOI: 10.1109/ASQED.2009.5206233

This paper presents a new fine-grain diagnostics technique that is able to locate multiple interconnect faults of an FPGA. The proposed methodology uses the concept of remove, reroute and replace technique to automatically diagnose the precise location of the faulty interconnect resources and to self-repair them. In this technique, the net under test (NUT) is removed completely and rerouted using the unused fault-free net, and then the original NUT is replaced segment by segment for testing. The fault models we use are stuck at open, stuck at close and resistive open. The proposed methodology was implemented and tested on the Spartan series FPGAs via an automated approach utilizing parallel port communication. The automation program has been written in PERL and C languages. The experiment results show that approximately 34 faulty resources could be tested per second. Moreover this method uses minimal input output blocks. This proposed technique provides high degree of resolution in exactly locating the multiple interconnect faults and thus provides 100% fault coverage.

This paper discusses the validity of platform stitching capacitors in facilitating high-speed differential links signal return path on non-ideal reference plane. A platform design guideline for the stitching capacitor is recommended at the end of this study. The results from this study were used to enable a huge reduction in the number of platform stitching capacitors, which scored major design wins to both Intel internal and external customers. The cost saving is estimated to be approximately $10M cost saving following this design guidelines, more cost saving are expected if proliferate to other product platforms and establish good method for future product implementation. Our study shows that stitching capacitors have neither significantly improve nor degrade differential signal integrity performance on non-ideal return path. There is no direct relationship between the stitching capacitors and the frequency characteristics of the differential links on non-ideal return path. Before concluding this study, we perform time-domain analysis in Hspice and lab measurement was taken on actual system board for SATA and PCIe interfaces. All the eye diagram results captured are showing similar trend between simulation and measurement.
讨论了平台拼接电容在非理想参考平面上促进高速差分链路信号返回路径的有效性。在本研究的最后,提出了拼接电容的平台设计准则。这项研究的结果被用于大幅减少平台拼接电容器的数量,从而为英特尔内部和外部客户赢得了重大设计胜利。按照此设计准则,预计节省成本约为1000万美元,如果推广到其他产品平台,并为未来的产品实施建立良好的方法,预计将节省更多的成本。研究表明,在非理想返回路径上,拼接电容既没有显著提高差分信号的完整性,也没有显著降低差分信号的完整性。拼接电容与非理想回路差动链路的频率特性无直接关系。在结束本研究之前,我们在Hspice中进行了时域分析,并在SATA和PCIe接口的实际系统板上进行了实验室测量。所有捕获的眼图结果在模拟和测量之间显示出相似的趋势。
