However, the real new devices are sensitive subjects to unacceptable effects of changes of the internal nanostructures. Changes in parameters due to process variations or device aging along the working or its life-time can result in significant in large timing variations or critical BTI-inducted delays and may affect the final design quality and dependability, may result in delay faults, up to the device or equipment malfunction or failure. Also power supply voltage or temperature variations do typically result in significant changes of timing parameters. The presented and tested circuit, method and approach allows extremely simple control of the core voltage during critical operations or during the device lifetime. This paper include also key results of measurement of selected low-power programmable device manufactured using 28 nm low-power TSMC process, a brief comparison to the previous 45 nm LP technology node, as well as a short prediction to the next 22 nm technology node.

However, neither standalone verification approaches, like simulation-based or formal verification, nor state-of-the-art hybrid/semiformal verification approaches are able to verify large and complex embedded software with hardware dependencies. This work presents an optimized scalable hybrid verification approach for the verification of embedded software with hardware dependencies using a mixed bottom-up/top-down algorithm with optimized static parameter assignment (SPA). These algorithms and methodologies like SPA and counterexample guided simulation are used to combine simulation-based and formal verification in a new way. SPA offers a way to interact between dynamic and static verification approaches based on an automated ranking heuristic of possible function parameters according to the impact on the model size. Furthermore, SPA inserts initialization code for specific function parameters into the source code under test and supports model building and optimization algorithms to reduce the state space. We have successfully applied this optimized hybrid verification methodology to an embedded software application: Motorola's Powerstone Benchmark suite. The results show that our approach scales better than stand-alone software model checkers to reach deep state spaces.","PeriodicalId":305922,"journal":{"name":"2014 15th Latin American Test Workshop - LATW","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122650018","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}

Sequential equivalence checking is an effective approach, but traditionally it has been only applied between circuit descriptions with one-to-one correspondence for states. Applying it between RTL descriptions and high-level reference models requires removing signals, variables and states exclusive of the RTL description so as to comply with the state correspondence restriction. In this paper, we extend a previous formal methodology for RTL verification with high-level models, to check also the signals and protocol implemented in the RTL design. This protocol implementation is compared formally to a description captured from the specification. Thus, we can prove thoroughly the sequential behavior of a design under verification.","PeriodicalId":305922,"journal":{"name":"2014 15th Latin American Test Workshop - LATW","volume":"242 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132966660","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}

On-chip characterization of noise becomes necessary for model validation and design optimization to reduce redesign costs and time-to-market for IC manufacturers. This paper presents an on-chip noise sensor dedicated to the study of various aspects of electromagnetic compatibility at circuit level, such as power and signal integrity, substrate coupling, conducted emission and susceptibility to electromagnetic interferences. The different architectures of the sensor are presented as well as a demonstration of its measurement performance and benefits through many case studies.

Hardening these systems involves suitably trading off cost and reliability. Due to standards and regulations in the area, the reliability of subsystems involved even in the least critical applications has to be evaluated, and in most cases hardening has to be performed with very low extra cost. In this work, two approaches are proposed for hardening the LIN bus, which implements a serial communication network typically used in low-throughput and low-cost sub-systems in automotive applications. First, critical elements in LIN nodes are identified and some techniques to harden them are proposed following a selective hardening approach. Secondly, collaborative hardening techniques are proposed for reducing global sensitivity in a LIN network built with commercial devices, trying to achieve a high degree of robustness in the network with low cost solutions. We report some experimental results allowing evaluating the hardware cost and the robustness of the proposed techniques.","PeriodicalId":305922,"journal":{"name":"2014 15th Latin American Test Workshop - LATW","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121080627","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 the proposed scheme, a network coordinator estimates the outage probability of small-scale uncorrelated fading channel uses and regulates the transmit power of each node in the network in order to simultaneously guarantee the outage probability of each sensor and the overall network availability within predefined limits. The proposed control strategy attains the maximum possible lifetime of the key nodes, and makes readily available a set of results that allows to achieve the proposed targets either by finely tuning the transmit power, the message transmission rate and relevant parameter estimation accuracy, or by reconfiguring the network topology in a timely manner when the key nodes' lifetime falls below a predefined minimum acceptable limit.","PeriodicalId":305922,"journal":{"name":"2014 15th Latin American Test Workshop - LATW","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132280110","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}

These tests are capable of providing a very low defect level but tend to be long and costly. In this work, we focus on minimizing the specification-based tests without exceeding any given defect level. We use Monte Carlo simulation to determine the probabilities with which a test covers specifications it was not originally intended to cover. These probabilities and the given defect level then define an integer linear programming (ILP) model for eliminating unnecessary tests. This paper gives sufficient evidence of successful implementation of the proposed methodology. A hypothetical example of ten specifications illustrates that depending upon the defect level requirement up to half of the tests may be eliminated. Monte Carlo simulation using spice for probabilistic characterization of tests versus specifications of a commercially available operational amplifier circuit is presented as evidence for the applicability of the technique.","PeriodicalId":305922,"journal":{"name":"2014 15th Latin American Test Workshop - LATW","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126246565","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}
