The proposed anomaly detection method is developed following unsupervised learning, where an AutoEncoder based on Gated Recurrent Units (GRU-AE) is trained to reconstruct a time-series of interest, and anomalies are detected via detecting exceptionally large reconstruction errors. A multi-timestamp stacking method is adopted to reduce the number of time steps in the GRU-AE to facilitate the training of the model and a new training scheme with random shuffling is proposed to prevent overfitting. The proposed GRU-AE based detector is applied in multiple time scales to detect different types of anomalies. Numerical results obtained via time-series data from real cellular network demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":243739,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116746563","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 paper presents a scanning and location system to detect integrated circuit hard defects based on Thermal Laser Stimulation (TLS) technology. The system uses a near-infrared laser to irradiate the device by planar scanning to obtain the current/voltage scan variation data of the sample. Then it can show the position of the failure point of the sample based on the abnormal distribution of the number of electrical parameter changes. Scan mode contains fast and slow scan modes for balancing test efficiency and reliability. The current signal during laser irradiation is mainly composed of Optical Beam Induced Resistance Change (OBIRCH) signal and Seebeck Effect (SE) signal. SE signal will act like noise and affect the OBIRCH signal continuously. The system can eliminate the interference of the SE signal by testing the signal separately and then subtracting it from the mixed signal at the test points. The experimental results show that the system can well locate hard defects of integrated circuits.","PeriodicalId":243739,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114269931","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 power consumption of our filter bank composed of eight filters is 77.98nW in 180-nm CMOS. To analyze the bandpass filter theoretically, we use two methods both in z-domain and with its equivalent circuit.

These DNNs, deployed in safety-critical embedded systems, are relatively small but require a high throughput. Our goal is to perform a coefficient quantization to reduce the arithmetic complexity while maintaining an inference with high numerical accuracy. The key idea is to target multiplierless parallel architectures, where constant multiplications are replaced by bit-shifts and additions. We propose an adder-aware training that finds the quantized fixed-point coefficients minimizing the number of adders and thus improving the area, latency and power. With this approach, we demonstrate that an automatic cruise control floating-point DNN can be retrained to have only power-of-two coefficients, while maintaining a similar mean squared error (MSE) and formally satisfying a safety check. We provide a push-button training and implementation framework, automatically generating the VHDL code.","PeriodicalId":243739,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems (APCCAS)","volume":"93 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129404807","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}
