Existing fault-based test generation methodologies for analog circuits are based on accurate but expensive fault simulation. In the proposed methodology, fault simulation is terminated before convergence for reasons of simulation speed. The relative fitness of various input stimuli is evaluated based on the results of this partial numerical simulation. A comparison of this new methodology with existing accurate fault simulation based test generation methods, shows up to 15 times speed-up in test generation.","PeriodicalId":443373,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Twelfth International Conference on VLSI Design.

In this paper we will describe a set of wafer-level electrical measurement methods which we have used to measure process-induced effects for several deep-submicron technologies. Seven important interconnect performance parameters have been identified as a minimum set of parameters needed to accurately accommodate the effects and predict the resistance and capacitance of the state-of-the-art interconnect systems. Therefore, interconnect parasitic estimation, or interchangeably in this paper, RC extraction, has to be improved to incorporate those parameters. It is also essential that process/TCAD describes those parameters in a format that allows more accurate parasitic estimation.","PeriodicalId":443373,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Twelfth International Conference on VLSI Design.

Since the clock rate at which these circuits operate is steadily increasing, it is important to perform delay testing on modern VLSI chips and systems. Algorithms for delay test generation and delay fault simulation are known to be compute-intensive. Many of these algorithms require gate-level descriptions of circuits which are difficult to generate and may be even impossible to provide when the designer has made use of predesigned cores. Hierarchical testing appears to be an attractive alternative in such cases. Tests generated for logic blocks may be reused to generate tests for larger systems comprising of the logic blocks, hence reducing the total effort in test generation. Tests show in this paper that the computational effort spent in fault simulation can also be reduced using a hierarchical approach. The simulator HIDEFS described in this paper exploits the modular nature of the circuit to save on the memory requirement as well as execution time requirement of fault simulation.","PeriodicalId":443373,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Twelfth International Conference on VLSI Design.

However, if the architecture synthesis trajectory for such algorithms is such that the target architecture can be identified as an interconnection of elementary parameterized computational structures, then it is possible to attain a close match, both in terms of performance and power with respect to an ASIC, for any algorithmic parameters of the given algorithm. Such an architecture is weakly programmable (configurable) and can be viewed as an application specific instruction-set processor (ASIP).

Both hierarchical and partitioned circuits consist of a master circuit and several sub-circuits. Hierarchical circuits permit sub-circuits to be reused, while partitioned circuits permit only a single use of each sub-circuit. Both types of circuits permit multiple levels of hierarchy. In partitioned circuits, triggering is used to perform simulations that are several times faster than Levelized Compiled Code (LCC) simulation. For hierarchical simulation, the concept of boundary activity is introduced. Optimization with respect to boundary activity can produce simulations that are much faster than ordinary flat simulations. It is further shown that hierarchical design can permit the efficient simulation of circuits that cannot be simulated on a single workstation using ordinary flat simulation. Aggressive use of hierarchy is used to demonstrate the simulation of circuits containing as many as four billion (4,000,000,000) gates.","PeriodicalId":443373,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Twelfth International Conference on VLSI Design.

Being able to identify which module in the core-based system is faulty has become very important. In this paper, we present algorithms to introduce test points for improving the diagnosability of a digital system. We define a measure of diagnosability known as module resolution which relates to the number of circuit modules that are suspected to be faulty after the diagnostic test procedure has been completed. We present a technique to partition the system into subsystems such that they can be tested in isolation. We also concurrently arrive at a test schedule which minimizes the overall effort in diagnostic testing. We have developed a tool called DEBIT for identifying the number, type, and location of test points in the circuit. We report the results of applying the tool on several benchmark circuits.","PeriodicalId":443373,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings Twelfth International Conference on VLSI Design. (Cat.
