BUILT IN SELF TEST FOR A CMOS ALU

Abstract:- A technique is proposed for implementing BIST (built-in self-test) in a CMOS arithmetic and logic unit (ALU). The approach covers single stuck-open faults and all functional faults that do not induce memory effects. The specific fault set covered by the test includes: (1) all single stuck-open faults on n and p transistors anywhere in the ALU (F1 faults); and (2) all functional faults that affect any single-bit slice of the (F2 faults), a functional fault being any fault that changes one combinati ....etc

1. INTRODUCTION

GLOBAL Positioning System (GPS) receivers for the consumer market require solutions that are compact, cheap, and low power. Manufacturers of cellular telephones, portable computers, watches, and other mobile devices are looking for ways to embed GPS into their products. Thus, there is a strong motivation to provide highly integrated solutions at the lowest possible power consumption. GPS radios consist of a front-end and a digital baseband section incorporating a digital processor. While for the baseband processor, cost-reduc ....etc

ABSTRACT
A single-chip CMOS Global Positioning System (GPS) radio has been integrated using only a couple of external passive components for the input matching network and one external reference for the synthesizer. The receiver downconverts the GPS L1 signal at 1575.42 MHz to an IF of 9.45 MHz. The complete front-end and frequency synthesizer section have been integrated: low noise amplifier, image rejection mixer, IF active filter, and the full phase-locked loop synthesizer, including voltage-controlled osci ....etc

ABSTRACT

A pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architecture suitable for high-speed (150 MHz), Nyquist-rate A/D conversion is presented. At the input of the converter, two parallel track-and-hold circuits are used to separately drive the sub-ADC of a 2.8-b first pipeline stage and the input to two time-interleaved residue generation paths. Beyond the first pipeline stage, each residue path includes a cascade of two 1.5-b pipeline stages followed by a 4-b backend folding ADC. The full-scale residue range at the output of the pipeline ....etc

A Current-Mirror Differential Amplifier


Prelab
The following prelab questions have been constructed to help you prepare to do the lab
efficiently. Unless otherwise stated, you should assume that like transistors are matched and
that the Early effect is negligible. Please complete these questions before you come to lab.
While you may discuss the prelab questions with your lab partner or with other students in
the class, each student in a lab group should c ....etc

Differential Amplifier Stages - Outline



Linear amplifier layouts:
The practical ways of puttinginputs to,
and taking outputs from,
transistors to form linear amplifiers
There are 12 choices: three
possible nodes to connect to
the input, and for each one,
two nodes from which to take
an output, and two choices of
what to do with the remaining
node (ground it or connect it
to something).
Not all these choices work
well, however. In fact only
three do.

Posing a great challenge to the traditional Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) in various applications, CMOS image sensors have improvised themselves with time, finding solutions for the problems related with the noise and sensitivity. The use of Active Pixel Sensors having its foundation with the sub-micron technologies have helped to attain low power, low voltage and monolithic integration allowing. The manufacture of miniaturised single-chip digital cameras is an example of this technology.
