For quality control purposes, wafers, such as semiconductor or flat-panel display (FPD) chips, need to be examined under a microscope to verify that they meet specifications related to both circuit ...
Handling timing exception paths in ATPG tools while creating at-speed patterns has always been a tough and tricky task. It is well understood that at-speed testing is a requirement for modern ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Researchers at Dalian University have developed a new process for completely transparent and flexible circuits of any patterns as one wishes. The circuit patterns are created via ...
The first few articles in this series were originally published in a different form at www.en-genius.net as the July – September 2012 monthly technotes. Then En-Genius ceased operations in October ...
A ripple-generating circuit is usually needed to ensure stability of constant-on-time (COT) controlled buck converters. Different values of the ripple generating circuit can have direct impacts on ...
