Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The author presents a discussion on several methods that can be used to improve the testability of mixed-signal integrated circuits. He begins by outlining the role of test, and its impact on product cost and qualify. A brief look is taken at the pending test crises for mixed-signal circuits. Subsequently, the author outlines several common test strategies, and their corresponding test setups for verifying the function of the analog portion of a mixed-signal circuit. In the remainder of the paper he describes several analog test buses and circuits for built-in self-test applications.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
