In this article we discuss three challenges of device verification and test for high-speed interfaces, with special focus on latest memory device interface generations as DDR3 / GDDR5 / XDR working in the GHz clock frequency range. We address how efficient device verification in terms of reaching target coverage fast can be achieved through random methods on ATE, both random operating condition tests...
For several decades, the output from semiconductor manufacturers has been high volume products with process optimisation being continued throughout the lifetime of the product to ensure a satisfactory yield. However, product lifetimes are continually shrinking to keep pace with market demands. Furthermore there is an increase in dasiafoundrypsila business where product volumes are low; consequently...
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...
Feature extraction of specified object is an important preprocessing stage in machine vision systems. In this paper, we present a novel hybrid feature extraction method using PCNN (Pulse Coupled Neural Network) and shape information. First, we use PCNN firing map train to formulate object’s time signature, then we use roundness of each firing map to formulate object’s shape information vector, the...
In this paper, we propose a robust STBC transmission scheme to combat the timing synchronization errors over frequency-selective multiple-access channels. First, the equivalent channel model in the presence of timing synchronization errors is derived and we find that the synchronization errors result in an equivalent channel model with larger number of correlated channel taps. Based on this correlated...
This work studies the performance of a data-driven reduced rank scheme for rapid timing acquisition in multiple access communications. Our results show that when only a limited amount of preamble bits are available, instead of the true second-order statistics (SOS), the reduced rank scheme provides reliable timing information. Exploiting the structure of the multiple access interference, the data...
This paper addresses adaptive channel estimation for time-varying mobile wireless channels with nonstationary statistics. We presents a reduced complexity adaptive channel estimator based on a set membership filtering approach known as the Optimal Bounding Ellipsoid (OBE) algorithm. To exploit time and frequency domain correlation properties of the channel in an efficient low-complexity way, we allow...
