Abstract

The development of a mixed-signal test bus infrastructure | IEEE P1149.4 | is now in the final stages ofthe standardization process. Evaluating the test capabilities enabled by this infrastructure is an important stepneeded to support it as a well established standard. Thispaper presents experiments carried out with a test chipprovided by the P1149.4 working group, which explorethe architecture of the proposed analog boundary module to implement alternative testing methods. Theseinclude a method for parametric testing of passive components based on the monitoring of the power supplycurrent, and a mixed current/voltage technique allowing the implementation of correlation for testing analogand mixed-signal macros.
