    摘要: A system comprises an electronic design automation (EDA) tool, for generating a schematic design of an integrated circuit (IC), generating a layout from the schematic design, editing the layout, and verifying the schematic design and layout. At least one non-transitory, computer readable storage medium, is provided for storing data representing the schematic design and the layout, the layout having a network of routing paths connecting at least two active layer devices of the IC design. An RC tool is provided for computing estimated parasitic capacitances of the routing paths of the network before verifying the schematic design and layout, and for inserting a capacitor corresponding to the estimated parasitic capacitance into the data representing the schematic design of the IC. A first device level simulation tool for simulating performance of the network based on the at least two active layer devices and the estimated parasitic capacitances.

    摘要: An analog built-in self-test (BIST) methodology based on the IEEE 1149.4 mixed signal test bus standard. The on-chip generated triangular stimuli are transmitted to the analog circuit under test (CUT) through the analog test buses, and their test responses are quantized by the dual comparators. The quantized results are then fed into a pair of counters to record the sampled counts for comparison in the decision circuit. A pass/fail indication is then generated in the decision circuit to indicate success or failure of the CUT after the BIST operation is complete.
