In recent years, the use of highly parallelized and high-speed data links has exacerbated the problem of crosstalk coupling. Signals with high frequency components couple to and degrade the quality of signals in adjacent lines aggressively with …
Insertion of malicious Trojans into outsourced chip manufacturing generally results in increased capacitances of internal circuit nodes that have been tapped for node controllability and observability by malicious circuitry. Current path delay …
Post-silicon validation of RF/mixed-signal circuits is challenging due to the need to excite all possible operational modes of the DUT in order to establish equivalence between its specified and observed behaviors and to ensure that the DUT does not …
Due to the use of scaled technologies, high levels of integration and high speeds of today's mixed-signal SoCs, the problem of validating correct operation of the SoC under electrical bugs and that of debugging yield loss due to unmodeled …
