Modeling and simulation of lithography and topography for processes and inspection in fabricating integrated circuits are the subject of this monograph. The introduction begins by establishing an appreciation for the revolutionary impact of the planar IC process, its growth in complexity, and the pace at which technologists are being asked to develop future generations. The role of modeling and...

Abstract : In this article we describe one suitable approach that enables the designer to insert a boundary-scan and built-in-self-test concepts, as typical designfor-testability techniques in system-on-chip and multichip module embedded system design, for fault-effects detection. For transient error detection implementation of parity error detection into a 36-bit bus transceiver circuit (32-bi...

We describe the Trianus software system which consists of a suite of tightly integrated tools for the eecient design and implementation of algorithms using a custom computing machine. The software is built upon a generic framework for FPGA circuit design and comprises a compiler for the Lola hardware description language, a layout editor, a circuit checker, a technology mapper, a placer, a rout...

The way integrated technology is growing becomes very difficult to apply circuit testing using Automatic TEST Equipment of complex circuit for this BIST (Built In Self test) is the solution of complex IC. Here we are applying BIST for UART which is considering as a low speed, low cost data exchange between computer and peripherals. Hence this paper shows implementation of UART with BIST capabil...

With the advance :in Computer-Aided Design technology, digital design in the scale of VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit) has moved from bottom-up design approach to top-down design methodology with the aid of advanced Electronic Design Automation tool. The most common design platform is the tools that make use of VHDL (Very High Speed Integrated Circuit Hardware Descriptive Language) as...

This paper focuses on an integrated optimization problem that is designed to improve productivity in printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing. We examine the problems of allocating the components to feeders and sequencing the placement of these components on the PCBs, populated by a rotary head machine with surface mount technology. While previous research focuses on sequencing the placement a...

We present work toward the development of a digital to analog (DAC) conversion scheme to efficiently achieve the bit-depths required in high performance infrared scene projection. This is achieved by appropriately dividing the conversion amongst the close support electronics (CSE), the periphery of the read-in integrated-circuit (RIIC) chip, and the pixel drive circuitry.
