Within industry the development of EDA tools associated with “process-aware-design” has a high priority as the impact on circuit performance due to process variations is having increasingly adverse effects on yield and performance. VARMA is a variability analysis tool which enables optimisation of both manufacturing process and nano-electronic circuit design in order to avoid `manufacturing surprises' resulting in costly chip respins, delays in reaching the market place and the subsequent loss of profitability.","PeriodicalId":131623,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits & Systems (DDECS)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130867671","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}

Ruzicka, Václav Simek","doi":"10.1109/DDECS.2012.6219020","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/DDECS.2012.6219020","url":null,"abstract":"The fundamental aspect behind this paper is focused on behaviour of polymorphic digital circuits in potentially harsh operating environment. The area of polymorphic electronics takes and an advantage of inherently built-in features that open up the possibility for on-the-fly adjustment of a particular circuit function with respect to the environment. The most prevalent benefit here is connected with the fact that space-efficient circuit implementation can be achieved due to the adoption of polymorphic principles and, thus, eliminate the need for an additional function change controller. The experimental setup was based around reconfigurable polymorphic chip REPOMO32, which is primarily designed to be configured (in addition to the configuration bit stream) by means of using the level of power supply voltage (Vdd), and carrier board with all necessary capabilities for temperature measurement up to -40C boundary and its response analysis. Experiments clearly indicate that polymorphic gates in the chip can be easily controlled not only by Vdd, but also by temperature. The obtained results also prove that the physical design of the REPOMO32 chip is robust enough under wide range f operating temperature.","PeriodicalId":131623,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits & Systems (DDECS)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122117207","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}

In this work, a reconfigurable TIM is designed with an adjustable resolution range of 15 down to 0.5 ps and a measurement dynamic range of 480 to 16 ps to perform a variety of time related measurements which require different test specifications; such as set-up and hold time and jitter measurements. It is considered that a reconfigurable measurement system will occupy less chip area than a range of measurement circuits designed for one specific test. The reconfigurable TIM consists of two parts, a programmable time difference amplifier and 32 cells tapped delay line.

For test scheduling, a concurrent method considering peak power upper bound is used. A test scheduling graph is presented for modeling concurrent hybrid BIST test scheduling. Furthermore, a heuristic is proposed for selecting cores to be tested concurrently and the order of applying sequence of test patterns to each core. Experimental results show that the proposed heuristics for both selecting groups of cores to be tested concurrently during the SoC test process, and determining the amount of deterministic and pseudo random test patterns for each core, give us an optimized method for multi clock domain SoC testing compared with the existing methods.","PeriodicalId":131623,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits & Systems (DDECS)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126545587","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}

This contribution addresses this aspect by showing and discussing an approach for efficient automated transitions from digital parts of Simulink models representing heterogeneous systems to VHDL and Verilog descriptions. It describes a design flow, in which a Simulink model representing a digital part of a mixed-signal ASIC is checked and optimized for automated generation of design rule compliant and more efficient digital hardware implementations. For this purpose, modeling guidelines and optimizations were implemented and integrated into an easily usable graphical user interface. Thereby, the strategy is based on considering and optimizing the digital part with respect to the surrounding heterogeneous system. An evaluation of the presented design flow is shown by applying the flow to an automotive hardware design.","PeriodicalId":131623,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits & Systems (DDECS)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116808338","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}

Effective RT-level software-based self-testing of embedded processor cores 有效的基于rt级软件的嵌入式处理器内核自检

{"title":"Effective RT-level software-based self-testing of embedded processor cores","authors":"P. Kabiri, Z. Navabi","doi":"10.1109/DDECS.2012.6219059","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/DDECS.2012.6219059","url":null,"abstract":"Embedded processors are often used in systems that are both safety-critical and long-living. Therefore testing of these devices is critical not only after production, but also in the field. Due to the limited accessibility of embedded processors, testing of such systems is a major challenge in terms of ultra-deep submicron issues. Scan based testing methods cannot be applied to embedded processor cores which cannot be modified to meet the design requirements for scan insertion. From the other side, generating test vectors for these high gate count devices is a major task. This paper presents a high level, component-oriented software-based self-testing method which achieves a high stuck-at-fault coverage for an embedded processor core. The method requires no DFT or changing the processor architecture. The proposed method is high level in the sense that it is based on the knowledge of the Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and Register Transfer Level (RTL) description of the processor. The method is well suited for meeting the challenges of testing SoCs which contain embedded processor cores. Our methodology is superior in terms of test quality in such a way that significantly increases fault coverage and reduces test time. The proposed method outperforms all existing method in terms of fault coverage.","PeriodicalId":131623,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 15th International Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits & Systems (DDECS)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122379295","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}
