Strategies for built-in characterization testing and performance monitoring of analog RF circuits
This paper presents two approaches to characterize RF circuits with built-in differential temperature measurements, namely the homodyne and heterodyne methods. Both non-invasive methods are analyzed theoretically and discussed with regard to the respective trade-offs associated with practical off-chip methodologies as well as on-chip measurement scenarios. Strategies are defined to extract the ...
متن کاملDevelopment and Implementation of Built-in Testing Techniques for Analog and Rf Integrated Circuits
The objective of this research is to develop built-in testing (BIT) techniques for the functional verification of analog and RF circuits and systems. The aim is to avoid the use of external analog instrumentation so that the cost of testing is reduced. The major challenges addressed by this work are: (1) To develop techniques for the on-chip test of integrated RF and analog circuits through a f...
متن کاملBuilt-In-Test of Analog and RF Circuits using Embedded Sensors
Testing of on-chip RF and microwave circuits has always been a challenge to the test engineers. Since the emergence of System-on-a-Chip (SoC), characterization and test development is time-consuming and they contribute to a significant part of the manufacturing cost. Moreover, test development of RF and microwave circuits requires years of experience and expertise. In this paper, we propose to ...
متن کاملTesting and Performance Calibration Techniques for Integrated RF Circuits
In this dissertation, a unified approach is proposed for the testing and calibration procedures of integrated RF circuits, that exploits a common set of optimally selected observables. In order to address the problem of accessibility to these observables, a built-in measurement technique is presented, while a method to minimize the uncertainty introduced in the measurement system itself is desc...
متن کاملSupply Current Monitoring for Testing Cmos Analog Circuits
This paper explores the applicability of Iddq testing to the field of analog circuits. An attempt is made to categorise different analog design styles according to their potential current testability and some representative circuits are analysed. Considerations at a transistor and block level are given as a first step to understand the limitations of extending this technique to more complex des...
