Manufacturability of Mixed Signal Systems

چکیده
A CAD framework for embedded system design requires many different tools including software compilers, assemblers, and instruction-level simulators, and HDL compilers and simulators. In addition, tools for hardware/software partitioning and co-simulation are required. In this tutorial, we will describe state-of-the-art techniques for embedded system design. We will focus primarily on the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) application domain, though most of the techniques that we discuss have wider applicability.

iii The portable communications industry's vision of integrating a complete multimedia complex on a single die, coupled with the desktop computing industry's vision of integrating multimedia functionality into general-purpose microprocessors has transformed lowering the power dissipation of digital signal processing (DSP) datapath circuits into an increasingly important challenge in current and...
متن کاملThe other face of design for manufacturability
THE DESIGN-MANUFACTURING INTERFACE (DMI) is one of the most critical junctions in the chip industry. For years, designers have debated the interplay of technologies on both sides of this interface. In this issue, D&T examines another current topic that deeply touches this interface: design for manufacturability (DFM). Manufac-turability today goes beyond the traditional focus on yield and relia...
متن کاملModeling and Simulation of Substrate Noise in Mixed-Signal Circuits Applied to a Special VCO
The mixed-signal circuits with both analog and digital blocks on a single chip have wide applications in communication and RF circuits. Integrating these two blocks can cause serious problems especially in applications requiring fast digital circuits and high performance analog blocks. Fast switching in digital blocks generates a noise which can be introduced to analog circuits by the common su...
متن کاملAn Efficient Technique for Substrate Coupling Parasitic Extraction with Application to RF/Microwave Spiral Inductors (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper presents an efficient modeling method, based on the microstrip lines theory, for the coupling between a substrate backplane and a device contact. We derive simple closed-form formulas for rapid extraction of substrate parasitics. We use these formulas to model spiral inductors as important substrate-noise sources in mixed-signal systems. The proposed model is verified for the freque...
متن کاملAutomated Manufacturability Analysis: A Survey Short title/Running head: Automated Manufacturability Analysis
In the marketplace of the 21st century, there is no place for traditional \over-the-wall" communications between design and manufacturing. In order to \design it right the very rst time," designers must ensure that their products are both functional and easy to manufacture. Software tools have had some successes in reducing the barriers between design and manufacturing. Manufacturability analys...
