    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: 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: 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.

    摘要: A first phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit includes an input for receiving a timing reference signal from an oscillator, a controllable oscillator circuit supplying an oscillator output signal, and a multi-modulus feedback divider circuit. A second control loop circuit is selectably coupled through a select circuit to supply a digital control value (M) to the multi-modulus feedback divider circuit of the first loop circuit to thereby control the oscillator output signal. While the second control loop is coupled to supply the control value to the feedback divider circuit, the control value is determined according to a detected difference between the oscillator output signal and a reference signal coupled to the second control loop circuit at a divider circuit. While the second control loop circuit is not coupled to control the first PLL circuit, the first PLL circuit receives a digital control value to control a divide ratio of the feedback divider, the digital control value is determined at least in part according to a stored control value stored in nonvolatile storage, the stored control value corresponding to a desired frequency of the oscillator output signal.
