PROJECT TITLE :

Dual Use of Power Lines for Design-for-Testability—A CMOS Receiver Design - 2016

ABSTRACT:

As the circuit complexity will increase, the amount of internal nodes will increase proportionally, and individual internal nodes are less accessible thanks to the restricted variety of obtainable I/O pins. To address the problem, we proposed power line communications (PLCs) at the IC level, specifically the dual use of power pins and power distribution networks for application/ observation of take a look at information with delivery of power. A PLC receiver presented during this paper intends to demonstrate the proof of concept, specifically the transmission of data through power lines. The main design objective of the proposed PLC receiver is that the strong operation beneath variations and droops of the supply voltage instead of high information speed. The PLC receiver is intended and fabricated in CMOS zero.18-µm technology beneath a provide voltage of 1.8 V. The measurement results show that the receiver will tolerate a voltage drop of up to 0.423 V for a knowledge rate of 10 Mb/s. The facility dissipation of the receiver is 3.twenty six mW under 1.8 V supply, and the core area of the receiver is 74.9µm × 72.2 µm.
