Concurrent Stimulus and Defect Magnitude Optimization for Detection of Weakest Shorts and Opens in Analog Circuits

We present a methodology for algorithmic generation of test signals for thedetection and diagnosis of a variety of short and open-circuit defects in analogcircuits. Prior algorithms have focused on test generation for known short oropen defect …

Post Silicon Validation of Analog/Mixed Signal/RF Circuits and Systems: Recent Advances

Technology scaling along with unprecedented levels of device integration has led to increasing numbers of analog/mixed-signal/RF design bugs escaping into silicon. Such bugs are manifested under specific system-on-chip (SoC) operating conditions and …

Targeting Hardware Trojans in Mixed-Signal Circuits for Security

The proliferation of third-party silicon manufacturing has increased the vulnerability of integrated circuits to malicious insertion of hardware for the purpose of leaking secret information or even rendering the circuits useless while deployed in …

Atomic Model Learning: A Machine Learning Paradigm for Post Silicon Debug of RF/Analog Circuits

As RF design scales to the 28nm technology node and beyond, pre-silicon simulation and verification of complex mixed-signal/RF SoCs is becoming intractable due to the difficulties associated with simulating diverse electrical effects and design bugs. …
