Abstract:

The objective of the proposed research is to create a programmable and reconfigurable system design environment enabling low-power mixed-signal processing and built-in self test from the application design to the measurement. To accomplish this objective, I have focused on implementing a compact hardware, developing algorithms and tools, and establishing a solid calibration flow. By combining these three components, signal-processing engineers will be able to implement low-power embedded system without a long time of tape-out IC development cycle as well as without considering the hardware variation.
