In this period, we have gone from the inception of ICs to now what literally amounts to the integration of systems of systems on chip. Whereas experts debate the continued evolution of ICs according to Moore's law beyond the next decade, the advent of the complex integration of multi-physics systems is just in its infancy and is predicted to grow exponentially in the coming years. Designing and manufacturing complex ICs is of course a feat in itself. Testing and testability has often been taken for granted as a necessary (not to say evil) requirement. But who wants of an IC that cannot be duly tested, to ensure quality and reliability, especially when deployed in life-critical applications? Test technology, along with design technology has had to make enormous and rapid progress over the past half-century. Here, we highlight some of the key elements of IC test technology. We briefly mention some directions and challenges and opportunities for test technology in the near future, especially as multi-physics integrated systems of systems continue to emerge and progress on the volume production curves.","PeriodicalId":256061,"journal":{"name":"2007 50th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125854032","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}

As part of the mixed-signal design flow, an early estimation of system-level performance requires efficient simulation techniques and models to establish design requirements. In this paper we present some of the challenges associated with and efficient methods to estimate the jitter tolerance of an all-digital data recovery circuit. The key insight is that since it is the maximum slope of the phase-modulating sinusoid that causes transient bit errors, an arbitrary waveform with the same maximum slope can be used for a shorter simulation study. We also present known limitations associated with the general usage of this newly proposed method.","PeriodicalId":256061,"journal":{"name":"2007 50th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"317 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114064266","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 complex signal drives an off-chip power amplifier (PA), optimized for power added efficiency (PAE), causing further degradation in the linearity of transmission. We propose an effective adaptive predistortion scheme that takes advantage of the time division duplex (TDD) nature of the EDGE modulation and uses the on-chip receiver as a feedback path during transmission. The proposed linearization technique features automatic calibration of nominal AM-AM and AM-PM look-up tables (LUT). The temporal variations primarily caused by temperature, aging, impedance and voltage changes are compensated by an incremental predistortion function that is periodically adapted using a low complexity iterative algorithm. The proposed predistortion technique improves the EDGE TX error vector magnitude (EVM) contribution from -20 dB (or 10%) in absence of predistortion to -67 dB (0.04%) while the adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) at 400 kHz offset improves from -46 dBc to -69 dBc.","PeriodicalId":256061,"journal":{"name":"2007 50th Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122931545","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}
