VAST: Post-Silicon VAlidation and Diagnosis of RF/Mixed-Signal Circuits Using Signature Tests

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 …

Validation Signature Testing: A Methodology for Post-Silicon Validation of Analog/Mixed-Signal Circuits

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 …
