Mixed signal IC (CP-PLL) Testing scheme using a novel approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
An effective novel approach for built in self test is proposed in this paper, which is useful in Mixed signal IC testing (here CPPLL). The approach is useful in digital testing applications which can detect the fault in any of the block that is phase frequency detector, VCO, loop filter, or charge pump. The key advantage of this approach is that it uses all the existing elements for measuring and testing which reduces the area overhead for testing scheme. Restated, that the proposed architecture does not alter the analog blocks. Rather the proposed approach adds small circuits to PLL with slight modification for digital part. The testoutput generated is purely a digital output which certainly increases the realiability of the proposed BIST structure. A fault simulation result shows the charactericstics of the BIST structure that is high fault coverage of 98%. The implemtation is done using the Tanner, VHDL and waveforms are made using the T-

In this paper we explore the use of asynchronous routers in a time-divisionmultiplexed (TDM) network-on-chip (NOC), Argo that is being developed for a multiprocessor platform for hard real-time systems. TDM inherently requires a common time reference, and existing TDM-based NOC designs are either synchronous or mesochronous. We use asynchronous routers to achieve a simpler, smaller, and more ro...
متن کاملA New Built-in Self Test Scheme for Phase-Locked Loops Using Internal Digital Signals
Testing PLLs (phase-locked loops) is becoming an important issue that affects both time-to-market and production cost of electronic systems. Though a PLL is the most common mixed-signal building block, it is very difficult to test due to internal analog blocks and signals. In this paper, we propose a new PLL BIST (built-in self test) using the distorted frequency detector that uses only interna...

Charge-Pump Phase-locked loops are currently used in a variety of signal generation applications. Due to the usefulness of the device CP-PLLs are now commonplace inclusions in SOC designs, and ultimately determine performance of other SOC blocks, such as ADC’s, DAC’s, RF functions and fibre communications channels. In many situations, only simple frequency lock tests are carried out on the PLL ...

Propagation of radio occultation (RO) signals through the lower troposphere results in high phase acceleration and low signal to noise ratio signal. The excess Doppler estimation accuracy in lower troposphere is very important in receiving RO signals which can be estimated by sliding window spectral analysis. To do this, various frequency estimation methods such as MUSIC and ESPRIT can be adopt...
