The new structure solves the problem that the number of comparators in the fine ADC is increased as the number of bits is increased. The power dissipation of the comparator is explored and an innovative bisection MSB comparator is designed to further reduce power consumption and chip area of the new ADC. According to the simulation results, the new ADC can achieve 10-bit resolution and 2 MHz input bandwidth at a sampling rate of 5 MHz using 5 V 0.8 um CMOS process. The active die size is 1.4/spl times/2.2 mm/sup 2/ and the power dissipation is 175 mW at 5 V.","PeriodicalId":307095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Eighth International Application Specific Integrated Circuits Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128682746","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}

During substrate routing, coupled noise in nets is calculated and noise amplitudes exceeding coupled noise budgets are corrected as part of the routing process. This represents an improvement over the heuristic noise reduction methods employed by some MCM routers and geometrical wiring rules generated by detailed simulation used by others. Lookup tables of coupling data are used in conjunction with closed-form equations in order to obtain noise estimates quickly. The method is applicable to a wide variety of MCM technologies without alteration, since the noise estimation is based only on interconnect geometry and the dielectric constant of the medium. The correctness of the noise estimation has been verified using a transmission line simulator and the effect of the procedure on the routing density achieved by an MCM autorouter has been investigated.","PeriodicalId":307095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Eighth International Application Specific Integrated Circuits Conference","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127220905","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}

However, it has been shown that the majority of actual physical faults in the faulty integrated circuit are bridging faults. For this reason, the interest in bridging fault simulation techniques has increased. One characteristic with bridging faults is that the bridging fault may have electrical as well as logical behavior. This characteristic makes detection of bridging faults more difficult and this characteristic increases the complexity of bridging fault simulation. The three techniques most widely used for bridging fault simulation are current testing, stuck-at testing and delay testing. This paper compares the complexity and robustness of the three techniques and new developments in the three techniques. Results show the current testing technique to be the most robust and have the lowest complexity which approaches that of stuck-at fault simulation complexity.","PeriodicalId":307095,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Eighth International Application Specific Integrated Circuits Conference","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131969680","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}
