The purpose of this filter is to simplify the overall receiver complexity by providing partial equalization before the analog-to-digital converter. The filter architecture is decided in conjunction with the design of 1000BASE-T receivers and the constraints of process and power supply. The proposed filter, which has one zero and two poles, is implemented by a Gm -C filter in a 0.25mum 1-poly 5-metal digital CMOS process. A new linearization circuit is used in the transconductance cells to meet the linearity requirement even with a low power-supply voltage. System-level simulations indicate that the filter can reduce the overall receiver power and area without sacrificing performance. Measurements show that the filter response can be programmed for cable lengths from 10m to 150m, the total harmonic distortion is -47.5dB with a 1VPP input at 13.4MHz, and the input dynamic range is 51dB.

This technique divides the scan chain into segments of different weights. Heavily weighted segments have more biased probability than lightly weighted segments. Heavily weighted segments are placed closer to the end of scan chain than the lightly weighted segments so the scan-in transitions are minimized. In addition, scan cells in segments of the same weight are reordered to further reduce the scan-out transitions. Experiments on ISCAS circuits show that, compared with the pseudo random BIST, SWR-BIST effectively reduces the test power by 74%. The SWR-BIST circuitry is very small and it grows slowly with the CUT size.
