    摘要: A nonvolatile analog memory has a floating gate point. The nonvolatile analog memory includes a capacitor, a first current source, a second current source and a current adjuster. The first current source controlled by a voltage value at the floating gate point and generates a first current. The second current source controlled by the voltage value at the floating gate point and generates a second current. The current adjuster receives the output voltage and a reference voltage and adjusts the first current and the second current based on the output voltage and the reference voltage. The current adjuster charges or discharges the capacitor to equalize the output voltage to the reference voltage.

    摘要: A nonvolatile analog memory has a floating gate point. The nonvolatile analog memory includes a first current source, a second current source, and a current adjuster. The first current source generates a first current, and the second current source generates a second current. The current adjuster turns on or turns off a current path of the second current according to a reference current and the first current. Furthermore, when the current path of the second current is turned on, the first current is adjusted according to the second current, such that the first current is equal to the reference current.

    摘要: The reliability of an integrated circuit is inferred from the operational characteristics of sample metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) devices switchably coupled to drain/source bias and gate input voltages that are nominal, versus voltage and current conditions that elevate stress and cause temporary or permanent degradation, e.g., hot carrier injection (HCI), bias temperature instability (BTI, NBTI, PBTI), time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB). The MOS devices under test (preferably both PMOS and NMOS devices tested concurrently or in turn) are configured as current sources in the supply of power to a ring oscillator having cascaded inverter stages, thereby varying the oscillator frequency as a measure of the effects of stress on the devices under test, but without elevating the stress applied to the inverter stages.

    摘要: A pipelined ADC includes a first, second, and third pairs of comparators. The first pair of comparators compare an input voltage to a first positive reference voltage and to a first negative reference voltage. The second pair of comparators compare the input voltage to a second positive reference voltage and to a second negative reference voltage. Each comparator of the first and second pairs of comparators outputs a digital signal to an encoder. A third pair of comparators compares the input voltage to a third positive reference voltage and to a third negative reference voltage, and a comparator compares the input voltage to ground. The comparator and each comparator of the third pair of comparators is configured to output respective digital signals to an encoder. A multiplying digital-to-analog converter outputs a voltage based on the input voltage, an output from the encoder, and an output of the random number generator.
