Structural DfT Strategy for High-Speed ADCs
Abstract
This paper presents a Design-for-Test (DfT) approach
for folded ADCs. A sensor DfT circuit is designed to sample several
internal ADC test points at the same time, so that, by computing the
relative deviation among them the presence of defects can be detected. A
fault evaluation is done considering a behavioral model to compare the
coverage of the proposed test approach with a functional test.
Afterwards, a fault simulation is used on a transistor level
implementation of the ADC to establish the optimum threshold limits for
the DfT circuit that maximize the fault coverage figure.
