This can easily incite very complicated debugging procedures and cause the problems and concerns of a multitude of engineering resources. The latest Marvell Ethernet PHY IC UVM verification platform integrating with the Marvell selected IP vendor's UVM library has been developed. A unique centralized-management methology block/architecture idea is brought in to build this UVM verification platform for the latest Marvell Ethernet PHY integrated circuit. All the eighty different test modes can be tested and verified in the same single UVM platform environment. This UVM verification platform environment significantly reduces the number of engineering resources needed to create and maintain the test cases. It also greatly saves debugging time and reduces chip development time. In the meanwhile, a novel random input stimulus controlled variables table idea is also implemented in this UVM verification platform to manage and improve the function coverage much more easily and efficiently.","PeriodicalId":117801,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd IEEE International Conference on Integrated Circuits and Microsystems (ICICM)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127094968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Optimal tap coefficients are obtained adaptively using a sign-sign least-mean-square (SS-LMS) algorithm that minimizes the jitter of equalized data. Low-voltage-differential-signaling (LVDS) tap generators that double DFE strength without increasing power consumption are used. Power reduction is also achieved by only activating the tap generator corresponding to the incoming data and sharing slicers for determining data state, the sign of data jitter, and bang-bang phase detection. A frequency locked-loop locked to an external frequency reference and a bang-bang phase-locked loop locked to the edge of equalized data, both sharing the same active inductor ring oscillator with separate frequency and phase tunings, are employed for clock recovery. The effectiveness of the proposed edge DFE is validated using a 10 Gbps 4PAM serial link designed in a 65 nm CMOS technology over a wire channel with 12 dB loss at baud-rate frequency. Simulation results demonstrated that the proposed adaptive edge DFE is capable of achieving 46% vertical opening and 60% horizontal eye-opening while consuming 26.24 mW.","PeriodicalId":117801,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd IEEE International Conference on Integrated Circuits and Microsystems (ICICM)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130955574","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The globalization of the integrated circuit supply chains has promoted the rapid development of the industry, but the chip is also vulnerable to malicious modified by the attacker, namely hardware Trojan implanted. The paper proposed a hardware Trojan efficient triggering method in AES cryptographic circuit. The method generated the test vector set by using the proposed optimal expand algorithm, which was used for detecting the AES cryptographic circuit to judge whether AES circuit exist hardware Trojans. Experiment results indicate that the method proposed in this paper can effectively trigger the hardware Trojan, increase the number of hardware Trojans triggered, and improve the trigger efficiency of the hardware Trojan.

Currently, various types of maximum operation frequency (Fmax) tests are performed for efficient speed binning by applying complex functional or structural test patterns, which incurs high test cost. In this paper, a novel on-chip Binning Sensor is proposed which can monitor the worst-case timing slack in the DUT. Then the chip can be binned to the corresponding speed bin according to the test frequency and slack information. The proposed sensor has been implemented on various ITC benchmarks and the FGU of OpenSPARCT2 core on 28nm technology node. Experiment result shows that the proposed sensor can accurately monitor the slack of the DUT with low test time. At the same time, the proposed sensor is all-digital, which requires low design effort, and less than 1% area overhead for large benchmarks.","PeriodicalId":117801,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd IEEE International Conference on Integrated Circuits and Microsystems (ICICM)","volume":"368 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122922380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The utility model can automatically cut off the circuit when the overload, short circuit and under voltage fault occur, and the utility model is equivalent to the combination of the fuse type switch and the over low thermal relay. In this paper, the problem of the failure of Qixian 220kV circuit breaker is analyzed. It is concluded that the gap of the switch electromagnet in the circuit breaker is changed and the hammer and trigger gap is too large.
