摘要: 论述了一种测试混合信号集成电路衬底噪声波形的方法。采用电压比较器,利用衬底电压对比较器状态的影响,对噪声作出统计测试。根据测试结果,重建噪声波形,设计了一测试系统的原理框图,推导出了用于衬底噪声波形重建的表征取样噪声电压的平均电压和表征测试误差的均方根值的计算公式,建立了模拟实验电路,给出了SPICE模拟实验结果。Abstract: The measurement of substrate noise waveforms in mixed-signal integrated circuits is described in this paper.This method uses voltage comparators as on-chip noise detectors.From the influence of substrate noise on the comparator's state,the noise can be measured statistically.The substrate noise waveform can be reconstructed by using the measured results.The block diagram of a test system is designed.The formula of the equivalently sampled noise voltage and the test error are deduced. The experimental result through SPICE simulation is given based on the experimental circuits set up along with their substrate models.
