β¦ Synopsis
Even high stuck-at fault coverage manufacturing test programs cannot assure high quality for CMOS VLSI circuits. Measurement of quiescent power supply current (IDDQ) is a means of improving quality and reliability by detecting many defects that do not have appropriate representation in the stuck-at fault model. Since each IDD Q measurement takes significant time, a hierarchical fault analysis methodology is proposed for selecting a small subset of production test vectors for IDD a measurements. A software system QUIETEST has been developed on the basis of this methodology. For two VLSI circuits QUIETEST selected less than 1% of production test vectors for covering all modeled faults that would have been covered by IDD a measurement for all of the vectors. The fault models include leakage faults and weak faults for representing defects such as gate oxide shorts and certain opens.

We apply a support vector machine (SVM) classifier to the design of analog to digital converters. Each output bit of the converter is the output of a binary classifier, which is a nonlinear SVM. The classifier effectively learns a folding characteristic for each bit, which is realized as the weighte
