OTA-C Based BIST Structure for Analog Circuits
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this letter, a novel built-in self-test (BIST) structure based on operational transconductance amplifiers and grounded capacitors (OTA-Cs) for the fault diagnosis of analog circuits is proposed. The proposed analog BIST structure, namely ABIST, can be used to increase the number of test points, sampling and controlling of all test points with voltage data, and making less time for test signal observable. Experimental measurements have been made to verify that the proposed ABIST structure is effective. key words: built-in self-test (BIST), operational transconduc-

متن کاملA Sub-µW Tuneable Switched-Capacitor Amplifier-Filter for Neural Recording Using a Class-C Inverter
A two stage sub-µW Inverter-based switched-capacitor amplifier-filter is presented which is capable of amplifying both spikes and local field potentials (LFP) signals. Here we employ a switched capacitor technique for frequency tuning and reducing of 1/f noise of two stages. The reduction of power consumption is very necessary for neural recording devices however, in switched capacitor (SC) cir...
