A Robust 43-GHz VCO in CMOS for OC-768 SONET Applications [PDF]
In this paper, we present a 43-GHz LC-VCO in 0.13-/spl mu/m CMOS for use in SONET OC-768 optical networks. A tuned output buffer is used to provide 1.3 V/sub p-p/ (single-ended) into a 90-fF capacitive load as is required when the VCO is used in typical ...

A heuristic fault based optimization approach to reduce test vectors count in VLSI testing
In this work we have proposed a heuristic approach to reduce the test vector count during VLSI testing of standard ISCAS circuits. With the shrinking die-space and increasing circuitry on a single Integrated circuit, the number of test vectors required ...

On Timing Model Extraction and Hierarchical Statistical Timing Analysis [PDF]
In this paper, we investigate the challenges to apply Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA) in hierarchical design flow, where modules supplied by IP vendors are used to hide design details for IP protection and to reduce the complexity of design and

Characterization of an embedded RF-MEMS switch [PDF]
An RF-MEMS capacitive switch for mm-wave integrated circuits, embedded in the BEOL of 0.25μm BiCMOS process, has been characterized. First, a mechanical model based on Finite-Element-Method (FEM) was developed by taking the residual stress of the thin ...
