摘要： A method for identifying potentially defective integrated circuit chips and excluding them from future testing as wafers move through a manufacturing line The method includes data-collecting steps, tagging the chips on wafers identified as potentially bad chips based on information collected as the wafer moves down the fabrication line, evaluating test cost savings by eliminating any further tests on the tagged chips preferably using a test cost database. Considering all the future tests to be preformed, the tagged chips are skipped if it is determined that the test cost saving is significant. Tagging bad chips is based on various criteria and models which are dynamically adjusted by performing the wafer final test on samples of the tagged chips and feeding-back the final test results. The dynamic adaptive adjustment method preferably includes a feedback loop or iterative process to evaluate financial tradeoffs when assessing the profit of salvaging chips against the additional test costs.

摘要： Reporting and/or analyzing test data from a plurality of tests of an array structure using a data array. One method includes obtaining the test data, and reporting the test data in a data array, which includes at least two portions representing different tests. Data stored in the data array is organized according to a translation table, which describes the locations of data for tests and criteria for data to be analyzed within the data array. Numerous other data arrangements such as a coordinate file listing a pre-defined maximum number of fail points, or a chip report including fail points by chip may also be generated. The data array reports all test data in a more easily generated and stored form, and may be converted to an image. A data analysis method for analyzing data using the data array is also presented.

摘要： Aspects of a method and system for using a frequency locked loop LOGEN in oscillator systems may include generating an oscillating signal via one or more circuits comprising a feedback loop. The generation may be controlled by enabling or disabling the feedback loop, based on the generated oscillating signal. The one or more circuits may comprise a frequency-locked loop (FLL) that may enable the generation of the oscillating signal. The frequency-locked loop may comprise a voltage-controlled oscillator. The feedback loop may be disabled when an estimated frequency difference between a reference signal and a feedback signal may be less than or equal to a specified threshold. The feedback loop may be enabled when an estimated frequency difference between a reference signal and a feedback signal may be greater than a particular threshold.

摘要： Aspects of a method and system for a varactor-tuned voltage-controlled ring oscillator with frequency and amplitude calibration may include generating in a voltage controlled ring oscillator, an oscillating signal using delay cells, wherein each delay cell may comprise varactors and variable resistors. The frequency of the generated oscillating signal may be variable and may be calibrated by calibrating a delay associated with the delay cells. The amplitude of the generated oscillating signal may be calibrated by adjusting variable resistors and current sources within the delay cells. The frequency of the generated oscillating signal may be varied by varying the delay of at least one delay cell through changing the capacitance of its varactors. Changing a control voltage may change the varactor capacitance. The gain of the ring oscillator may be reduced by adjusting the varactors, and the generated oscillating signal may be a square wave signal.

摘要： A method and apparatus for fractional-N synthesis includes processing that begins by generating a 1st feedback frequency from the output frequency based on a fixed divider value. The processing continues by generating a 2nd feedback frequency from the output frequency based on a selectable divider value, a modified fractional value of the divider value, and a modified integer value of the divider value. The processing continues by determining whether the fractional value of the divider value is within a range of fractional values. If so, the 1st feedback frequency is used to produce the output. If the fractional portion of the divider value is not within the range of fractional values, the 2nd feedback frequency is used to produce the output frequency.

摘要： An on-chip loop filter includes a 1st resistor, a 1st capacitor, a 2nd capacitor, a 3rd capacitor, a 2nd resistor, and a 4th capacitor. The 1st resistor is operably coupled to receive a charge pump output. The 1st capacitor is coupled in series with the 1st resistor where the second node of the 1st capacitor is coupled to a return. The 2nd capacitor is coupled in parallel with the series combination of the 1st resistor and 1st capacitor. The 3rd capacitor is coupled in parallel with the 2nd capacitor. The 2nd resistor is coupled to a node of the 3rd capacitor and to a node of the 4th capacitor. The other node of the 4th capacitor is coupled to ground. To enable these components to be placed on-chip, the 1st capacitor is of a 1st capacitor construct having a 1st quality factor, the 2nd capacitor is of a 2nd capacitor construct having a 2nd quality factor, where the 2nd quality factor is greater than the 1st quality factor, and the 3rd and 4th capacitors are of a 3rd capacitor construct having a 3rd quality factor, which is greater than the 2nd quality factor.
