Proceedings ArticleDOI
A simplified polynomial-fitting algorithm for DAC and ADC BIST
Stephen Sunter,Naveena Nagi +1 more
TL;DR: An accurate and simple method is introduced for determining the third order polynomial that best fits a set of data points containing random noise and is particularly suitable for sigma-delta converters.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
BIST for phase-locked loops in digital applications
Stephen Sunter,A. Roy +1 more
TL;DR: This paper describes a built-in self-test (BIST) circuit that tests the key analog parameters of PLLs, using only logic gates that can be synthesized from a hardware description language (HDL).
Patent
Multiple clock rate test apparatus for testing digital systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the memory elements of a digital system are reconfigured in the scan mode, and a test response pattern is clocked out of each of the scan chains at its respective clock rate.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Test metrics for analog parametric faults
Stephen Sunter,Naveena Nagi +1 more
TL;DR: The concept of partial coverage is introduced, it is shown that it is inherent to analog testing, and coverage cannot be calculated without knowing the performance specifications for a circuit, as well as the process parameter distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
On-chip digital jitter measurement, from megahertz to gigahertz
Stephen Sunter,A. Roy +1 more
TL;DR: A new technique is introduced that allows for attaining on-chip measurements at a substantial level of accuracy and new algorithms are proposed that allow a wide frequency range, supporting the desired accuracy while guaranteeing signal integrity and low overhead.
