    摘要: A tester is disclosed in which state coherency is maintained between functional blocks of the tester by way of a novel state distribution and recombination network. The network includes a plurality of nodes configured to provide point-to-point links can be adjusted by selecting a suitable node configuration and by programming delay circuitry included in each node. The network therefore maintains state coherence between the functional blocks by ensuring that delays throughout the test system are both deterministic and adjustable. The tester is particularly useful for testing complex, mixed-signal semiconductor devices.

    摘要: An analog clock apparatus is disclosed including a digital clock source for producing a digital waveform of a predetermined frequency and a direct-digital-synthesizer. The synthesizer has an input to receive the digital waveform and is operative to generate a resultant analog waveform. Prediction logic is coupled to the digital clock source and the synthesizer for determining the relative phase relationships between the digital waveform and the analog waveform. The prediction logic is responsive to a prediction clock having a clock frequency approximating that of said digital clock source.

    摘要: The invention provides a method of analyzing a source current at a higher speed and an enhanced accuracy in a semiconductor integrated circuit including a digital circuit. The method to analyze a waveform of the source current, with consideration of re-distribution of charges throughout the digital circuit in the semiconductor integrated circuit, expressing the digital circuit with series of parasitic capacitors ΣC ch,↑ (nT) and ΣC ch,↓ (nT) to be charged and connected between the source and the ground lines. The capacitor series are calculated in time series based on the distribution of switching operations of the logic gates included in the digital circuit. An analysis model for determining the waveform of the source current in the digital circuit is obtained by connecting the parasitic capacitor series with a couple of respective parasitic impedances Z d and Z g of the source line and the ground line.

    摘要: A device (100) comprises an analog-to-digital converter (200), a digital signal processor (500), a digital dither signal generator (400), and a signal coupling device (300) adapted to selectively couple one of the dither signal generator (400) and the digital signal processor (500) to the signal path in the converter (200). A method of testing a dithered analog-to-digital converter (200) employing an M-bit digital dither signal generator (400), M being a positive integer, comprises the steps of: generating an M-bit, periodic signal, providing the generated signal to the dithered converter (200) at a point along the signal path of the dithered converter in place of the dither signal, and measuring the digital output signal produced by the converter (200).

    摘要: In a quantum computer, quantum algorithms are performed by a qubit interacting with multiple quantum control pulses. The quantum control pulses are electromagnetic RF signals that are generated digitally at baseband and sent, via asynchronous ports, to DACs that feed an RF upconversion circuit. For synchronization, each asynchronous port is coupled to a multi-tap delay line. The setting of the multi-tap delay line is determined by a function of the port's setup-and-hold time. This function is trained, via machine learning, to be applicable across a variety of ports.
