This paper proposes an efficient PWM switching function for modified H-bridge based multilevel inverter. The prior H-bridge based multilevel inverter can increase the number of output voltage levels by adding switch components and DC input voltage sources. If it employs seven switches and three DC sources, the number of output voltage levels becomes seven. Although its THD characteristics are improved,...
A novel scheme for reducing the test application time in accumulator-based test-pattern generation is presented. The proposed scheme exhibits extremely low demand for hardware. It is based on a decoder whose inputs are driven by a very slow external tester. Experimental results on ISCAS benchmarks substantiate a test-time reduction of 75%-95% when compared to previously published test-set embedding...
With technology scaling, vulnerability to soft errors in random logic is increasing. There is a need for on-line error detection and protection for logic gates even at sea level. The error checker is the key element for an on-line detection mechanism. We compare three different checkers for error detection from the point of view of area, power and false error detection rates. We find that the double...
While the CMOS analog circuits can be designed with the minimum-gate-length of the fabrication process in the alpha-power law MOSFET model, the length of a MOSFET gate has been chosen to be a larger scale than the minimum-gate-length in the conventional Shockleypsilas square model. In this paper, we describe a 6-b 100 MSPS CMOS current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with the alpha-power...
A novel methodology for accurate and efficient static timing analysis is presented in this paper. The methodology is based on finding a frequency domain model for the gates which allows uniform treatment of the gates and interconnects. It is shown that despite the highly nonlinear overall gate model, a frequency domain model of the gate with the model parameters, gate moments, as functions of the...
