  • Model extraction of a paddle in plastic surface-mount RF-IC packages

    Creator:
    Sundberg, Garth
    Abstract:
    Plastic packaging is a cost-effective solution for housing RF and microwave integrated circuits in low cost communication devices. While enabling low cost packaging of integrated circuits, plastic packages including the circuit ground patch (paddle) inside the package can have a significant parasitic effect on circuit performance. The purpose of this...

  • Design of a mini-computer controlled digital integrated circuit tester

    Creator:
    Fasang, Patrick Pad, 1941-
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the thesis is to design, construct, program, and test an automatic integrated circuit test system. The class of integrated circuits tested was restricted to digital integrated circuits. The general concept of testing a digital integrated circuit is based on the truth table of that circuit. A combination...

  • Integrated injection logic alarm system

    Creator:
    Kazmi, Saeed A.
    Abstract:
    The object of this work was to design and fabricate an integrated circuit using Integrated Injection Logic. Integrated Injection Logic (I[superscript 2] L) is a relatively new field and has many inherent advantages. These have been exploited in this work. Logic for the desired functions was designed and implemented in...

  • A CMOS differential line driver

    Creator:
    Jiang, William
    Abstract:
    A short-circuit-protected line-driver circuit is particularly adapted for use in a CMOS differential line-driver system, where one line-driver circuit provides a true output signal, and another line-driver circuit provides a complementary false output signal. A short-circuit is sensed by measuring current through a secondary pull-up transistor, and disabling a primary...

  • Analysis and modeling of microstrip on-chip interconnects on silicon substrate

    Creator:
    Lan, Hai
    Abstract:
    The electrical performance of on-chip interconnects has become a limiting factor to the performance of modern integrated circuits including RFICs, mixed-signal circuits, as well as high-speed VLSI circuits due to increasing operating frequencies, chip areas, and integration densities. It is advantageous to have fast and accurate closed-form expressions for the...

  • Analysis and modeling of coplanar on-chip interconnects on silicon substrates

    Creator:
    Luoh, Yi
    Abstract:
    The electrical behavior of on-chip interconnects has become a dominant factor in silicon-based high speed, RF, and mixed-signal integrated circuits. In particular, the frequency-dependent loss mechanisms in heavily-doped silicon substrates can have a large influence on the transmission characteristics of on-chip interconnects. To optimize the performance of the integrated circuit,...

  • Methods to improve the reliability and resiliency of near/sub-threshold digital circuits

    Creator:
    Crop, Joseph A.
    Abstract:
    Energy consumption is one of the primary bottlenecks to both large and small scale modern compute platforms. Reducing the operating voltage of digital circuits to voltages where the supply voltage is near or below the threshold of the transistors has recently gained attention as a method to reduce the energy...

  • Time domain characterization of interconnect discontinuities

    Creator:
    Jong, Jyh-Ming
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study is to develop experimental techniques to characterize typical interconnect discontinuities, including bends, steps, T junctions, vias and pads, which are the most commonly encountered interconnections in high speed digital integrated circuits, hybrid and monolithic microwave circuits and electronic packages. The time domain reflection response of...

  • Energy-efficient clock generation for communication and computing systems using injection locking

    Creator:
    Ma, Chao
    Abstract:
    The design of high-performance, high-speed clock generation and distribution becomes challenging in terms of phase noise, jitter and power consumption, due to the fast development of communication and computing systems. Injection locking is a promising clocking technique since it can significantly improve the energy efficiency, suppress the phase noise of...
