متن کاملASIC Manufacturing Test Cost Prediction at Early Design Stage
This paper proposes a test cost prediction model which estimates the cost of IC testing in a manufacturing environment. The model predicts chip testing cost and quality of test using a set of circuit manufacturing parameters. The objective is to use these circuit parameters which are available at the early stage of the design cycle to determine and optimize manufacturing test cost.
متن کاملSRAM Yield Estimation in the Early Stage of the Design Cycle
This paper describes an early memory yield prediction model using a memory sensitive area model. The proposed sensitive area prediction model calculates the sensitive area of a memory block for a given process technology and memory capacity. The model is capable of predicting the yield of a memory block in the early design phase without the detailed knowledge of the physical layout. The use of ...
متن کاملModular approach for an ASIC integration of electrical drive controls
VLSI circuits design allows today to consider new modes of implementation for electrical controls. However, design techniques require an adaptation effort that few designers, too accustomed to the software approach, provide. The authors of this article propose to develop a methodology to guide the electrical designers towards optimal performances of control algorithms implementation. Thus, they...
