    摘要: A method of testing an integrated circuit includes setting a guardbanded limit for a parameter associated with an embedded node, a deviation from the guardbanded limit under a set of test conditions correlated with a failure of the integrated circuit across a range of operating conditions. A test is performed under the test conditions to detect deviations of the parameter from the guardbanded limit to detect failures of the integrated circuit over the range of operating conditions.

    摘要: A method of testing an integrated circuit including a plurality of test nodes includes initiating a test mode and, during a first time interval of the test mode, stepping a level of a supply current of the integrated circuit to a calibration level. Parameters are observed at the plurality of test nodes to detect errors during a second time interval of the test mode and the level of the supply current selectively stepped in response to a number of errors detected. The level of the supply current is decoded to identify the detected errors.

    摘要: Disclosed in this application is the placement of an additional integrator between the first stage integrator output and the input to the attenuator/low pass filter. This approach reduces the input referred offset by a factor equal to the gain of the additional integrator, and the offset of the additional integrator itself will be divided by the gain of the first-stage integrator.

    摘要: An amplifier is disclosed including multiple integrator stages. The amplifier includes a low-frequency path from a signal input to a signal output and relatively higher-frequency bypass paths around the first integrator stage. The paths converge at a summing node. To prevent instability when the integrators are saturated by large signals, the circuit includes a saturation detector which disables the relatively low-frequency paths during such saturation conditions.

The first capacitor is coupled to a first input of an amplifier circuit, which has a second input and an output. The second capacitor is coupled to the second input. During a sample/conversion phase, the first input of the amplifier circuit is coupled to an input signal through the first capacitor to level-shift the input signal according to the first bias voltage and the output of the amplifier is coupled to the second input through the second capacitor to level shift a feedback signal according to the second bias voltage.
