    摘要: We propose an opposite-phase scheme for peak current reduction. The basic idea is to divide the clock buffers at each level of the clock tree into two sets: one half of the clock buffers operate at the same phase as the clock source, and the other half of the clock buffers operate at the opposite phase to the clock source. Consequently, our approach can effectively reduce the peak current of the clock tree. The method enables the opposite-phase scheme to combine with the electronic design automation (EDA) tools that are commonly used in modern industries.

    摘要: Provided is a measurement circuit for measuring a jitter of a clock signal. Delay elements delay the clock signal into delayed clock signal. Latches latch the delayed clock signals to indicate whether transition edges of the clock signal is within a window value which is corresponding to delays of the delay elements. Based on the latch result from the latches, a finite state machine generates control signals for controlling the delay elements. If the latch result indicates that the transition edges of the clock signal is not within the window value, the control signals adjust the delays of the delay elements and the window value. The jitter of the clock signal is measured based on the delays of the delay elements and the window value.

    摘要: A jitter measurement circuit and a method for calibrating the jitter measurement circuit are disclosed. The jitter measurement circuit includes a synchronous dual-phase detector and a decision circuit. In a test mode, a probability distribution function (PDF) of the jitter of a clock signal output by a circuit under test is obtained. In a calibration mode, a random clock, which is externally generated or generated by a free-run oscillator in the circuit under test, is used to calibrate the synchronous dual-phase detector. The decision circuit performs logic operations, data latching and counting on a phase relationship detected by the synchronous dual-phase detector in order to obtain a counting value and a PDF relative to the jitter of the clock signal.

    摘要: A programmable memory built-in self-test circuit and a clock switching circuit thereof are provided. The memory built-in self-test circuit is able to provide more self-test functions preset by a user, simplify the redundant circuit in the prior art and reduce chip area and lower the cost by means of an instruction decoder and a built-in self-test controller. The present invention also provides some peripheral control circuits of a memory. The control circuits occupies less area and enables the memory to be tested more flexibly. The present invention further provides a clock switching circuit enabling a chip to be correctly tested under different clock speeds, which benefits to advance the testability and the analyzability of the memory embedded in a chip and thereby increase fault coverage.

    摘要: A built-in memory current test circuit to test a memory on a chip is disclosed, comprising a built-in self-test circuit and a dynamic current generation module. The built-in self-test circuit is disposed on the chip to receive and process a test signal and generate a control signal to control operation of the memory and a current control code. The dynamic current generation module, also disposed on the chip, produces a test current into the memory based on the current control code. The current switch time is reduced in the built-in memory current test circuit, and an integrated test combining functional and stress tests can thus be performed.
