Abstract:
A delay cell includes a first transistor and a second transistor, at least one of which has a fully depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) structure. A first control voltage is applied to the body of the first transistor and a second control voltage is applied to the body of the second transistors in order to adjust the delay time of the delay cell. DLL and PLL circuits includes this type of delay cell.
Abstract:
An edge detector includes a differential signal generator, a sense amplifier and a latch. The differential signal generator delays an input signal to generate a first differential signal and inverts the input signal to generate a second differential signal. The sense amplifier amplifies a difference between the first differential signal and the second differential signal to generate a first amplification signal and a second amplification signal at a first edge of a test clock signal and resets the first amplification signal and the second amplification signal at a second edge of the test clock signal. The latch generates an edge signal corresponding to edge information of the input signal in response to the first amplification signal and the second amplification signal.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit includes an operational circuit and a test circuit for measuring a leakage current associated with all or part of the operational circuit. The leakage current measurement circuit may include a mirror circuit configured to mirror leakage current to a current-to-voltage converter and an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert the analog voltage representative of the leakage current developed by the current-to-voltage converter to a digital value.
Abstract:
A lock-in amplifier includes a clock signal generator configured to generate a first demodulation clock signal and a second demodulation clock signal having a phase difference of 90 degrees and a same demodulation frequency; and a detector configured to, based on an input signal, the first demodulation clock signal, and the second demodulation clock signal, provide an offset voltage corresponding to an offset of the lock-in amplifier in a first operation mode, and provide a first output voltage and a second output voltage, each of which correspond to a demodulation frequency component of the input signal in a second operation mode.
