A Lossy Capacitance Measurement Circuit Based on Analog Lock-in Detection

Measurement-Based Interconnect Capacitance Characterization for Circuit Simulations

A characterization methodology to model interconnect capacitance for accurate circuit simulation is presented. The method utilizes a simple measurement scheme to measure inter-layer capacitances. The measured data is then used to tune a layout tool for accurate interconnect parasitic extraction. Results show good fit between simulated and measured ring oscillator speeds for a production 0.5μm, ...

MOCA ARM: Analog Reliability Measurement based on Monte Carlo Analysis

Due to the expected increase of defects in circuits based on deep submicron technologies, reliability has become an important design criterion. Although different approaches have been developed to estimate reliability in digital circuits and some measuring concepts have been separately presented to reveal the quality of analog circuit reliability in the literature, there is a gap to estimate re...

Look up Table Based Low Power Analog Circuit Testing

In this paper, a method of low power analog testing is proposed. In spite of having Oscillation Based Built in Self-Test methodology (OBIST), a look up table based (LUT) low power testing approach has been proposed to find out the faulty circuit and also to sort out the particular fault location in the circuit. In this paper an operational amplifier, which is the basic building block in the ana...
