Overview

The TS_CS_20uA_X8 is a current generator sourcing 20µA via each terminal IBPU<0> through IBPU<7>, for the biasing of other TES IPs like TS_FS_9M70_X8 and TS_VA_LNDC_X8 (for the latter IP, its input reference current must be mirrored from one Bias output by a simple cascoded NMOS circuit).

The Bias operates with two supply voltages, VDDA4 (4V typical) for its main function and VDDA5, VDDA5IO (5V typical) for the test-bus (ATB) circuit. It requires one precision reference voltage VREF (2.5V).

Precision current trimming is achieved under control of the 5-bit calibration input CAL<4:0>.

This IP supports analog-test-bus multiplexing on the ATB_OUT output under control of the 5-bit address input ATB_ADR<4:0>. When ATB_ADR<4:0>= LLLHH, the Bias sources a 20µA current replica to ATB_OUT for off-chip measurement.

This IP complies with 2kV electrostatic discharges on its analog terminal ATB_OUT.

The minimum continuous operation lifetime spans 100000 hours.

Analog and Power Management Trends in ASIC and SoC Designs

The design of modern Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and Systems on a Chip (SoCs) in advanced process nodes can be differentiated by the on-die integration of analog functions, such as power management. Vidatronic offers this white paper to give some historical background on this trend and delve specifically into the integration of power management. Vidatronic IP solutions and the benefits they bring to ASIC and SoC designers are discussed.

How to specify and integrate successfully a measurement analog front-end including its power computation engine in an energy metering IC

Based on the system specification of a typical smart meter, this article demonstrates the importance of carefully selecting the power metering IP solution so that its specification matches the standard requirements and copes with the application challenges. This article then pinpoints thoroughly the various issues that must be taken into account for the selection of the Silicon IP and helps identify the possible trade-offs between the performance of the Mixed-signal Front-end (MFE) and that of the Power and energy Computation Engine (PCE).

Silicon Qualified SuperViC: the only way to safe SoC integration

System integrators often encounter problems on application boards too late in the design cycle, when bringing together Virtual Components (ViCs of silicon IPs) into a system. Some ViC performances may be degraded at higher levels (SoC and PCB), and thus the final system does not perform as well as expected. In other words, assembling high-performance ViCs together does not guarantee high-performance SoCs or systems when fundamental integration aspects are not addressed or key issues are violated during the integration process.

Presented in this paper is a tool that automatically migrates analog designs from one process to another while keeping circuit and layout topologies.
