The influence of 1,5 um Rad-hard CMOS process parameters (gate oxide growth temperature and chemical environment) variations on the total ionizing dose effects is comparatively analyzed in experiment on the build-in test structures. The optimal process parameter set is found as a compromise between IC functionality and radiation hardness.
The CCD is best suited to realize the wide band width systems with less expensive cost. Thus the CCD video delay line has been used to various consumer video signal processing equipment such as video cassette recorder In Improving picture quality.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a well-known problemin integrated circuits that affects its reliability, yield and cost. It is important to design ESD protection circuits that are ableto prevent ESD related yield loss [1]. In this work, a 65 nmstatic clamp with a thyristor as a delay element to extend the ontime of the clamp during the ESD event is presented. Simulationand measurement results show...
This paper presents a new high voltage analog switch IC for ultrasound imaging system. Compact analog switch IC that doesn't need dedicated high voltage power supplies is strongly required because it can contribute to reducing size and cost of ultrasound imaging system. To satisfy above requirements, we propose a new floating gate driving circuit and a new switch circuit. To reduce die size of IC,...
Integrated circuits (ICs) are becoming increasingly vulnerable to malicious alterations, referred to as hardware Trojans. Detection of these inclusions is of utmost importance, as they may potentially be inserted into ICs bound for military, financial, or other critical applications. A novel on-chip structure including a ring oscillator network (RON), distributed across the entire chip, is proposed...
A novel 150V-BCD technology by using 14um thick epitaxy based on 0.35um standard CMOS process has been developed for LCD backlighting application. In the whole process with 24 steps, HV circuit block, including VDNMOS and LDPMOS with double resurf principle, and LV block are integrated together. Advanced deep trench isolation (DTI) technology with the breakdown voltage above 150V is firstly in place...
Power electronics systems are commonly used in motor drive, power supply and power conversion applications. They cover a wide output power spectrum: from several hundred watts in small drives up to megawatts in wind-power installations or large drive systems. Inside the system the gate driver circuit with its extensive control and monitoring functions forms the interface between the microcontroller...
This paper presents principles and results of dynamic testing of an SRAM-based FPGA using time- resolved fault injection with a pulsed laser. The synchronization setup and experimental procedure are detailed. Fault injection results obtained with a DES crypto-core application implemented on a Xilinx Virtex II are discussed.
Simultaneous switching noise (SSN) is an important issue for the design and test and actual ICs. In particular, SSN that originates from the internal logic circuitry becomes a serious problem as the speed and density of the internal circuit increase. In this paper, an on-chip monitor is proposed to detect potential logic errors in digital circuits due to the presence of SSN. This monitor checks the...
Transient faults have become increasingly observable in combinational logic. This is due to the weakening of some inherent protective mechanisms that logic traditionally holds against such flawed spurious events. One of the aforementioned mechanisms relates to the propagation of transient faults along sensitizable paths. Existing literature that relies on logic simulation under estimates the number...
3D contactless technology based on capacitive coupling represents a promising solution for high-speed and low power signaling in vertically integrated chips. AC coupled interconnects do not suffer from mechanical stress, and the parasitic load is much reduced when compared to standard DC solutions, such as wire bonding and micro bumps. Communication system based on wireless interconnection scheme...
Trust in reference to integrated circuits addresses the concern that the design and/or fabrication of the IC may be purposely altered by an adversary. The insertion of a hardware Trojan involves a deliberate and malicious change to an IC that adds or removes functionality or reduces its reliability. Trojans are designed to disable and/or destroy the IC at some future time or they may serve to leak...
A high intercept points, cost-effective, and power-efficient switching FET double balanced mixer (DBM) is reported. The Switching FET DBM demonstrated in this work offers input intercept points (IIP3) and conversion loss typically 44 dBm and 8.5 dB respectively with 15 dBm LO power for the frequency band (RF: 900-2150 MHz, LO: 850-1950 MHz, IF: 50-200 MHz). The measured interport isolation is typically...
In deep submicron era, to prevent larger amount of SRAM from more frequently encountered overheating problems and react accordingly for each possible hotspots, multiple ideal run-time temperature sensors must be closely located and response rapidly to secure system reliability while maintaining core frequency. This paper presented a method to extract run-time temperature information from multiple...
This paper describes the high-frequency characteristics of a multilayered planar transformer consisting of two planar coils and Co-Fe amorphous magnetic films. The parameters of transformer operation obtained by finite element method (FEM) calculations are compared with measured values. The analysis shows that characteristic evaluation is useful for a simple understanding of the operation of a transformer...
Contemporary silicon circuits can by the nature of increased integration perform complicated functions more economically. This, along with the higher life-cycle cost of energy, is changing the relative worth of these ingredients in the variable traffic load telephone plant. In situ economics of power has become a first order circuit design parameter. Future optimum systems design and deployment will...
