    Abstract
    To get a more accurate model for simulation of single electron transistors (SETs), we have proposed a new macromodel that includes the ability of electron tunneling time calculation. In our proposed model, we have modified the previous models and applied some basic corrections to their formulas. In addition, we have added a switched capacitor circuit, as a quantizer, to calculate the electron tunneling time. We used HSPICE for high-speed simulation and observed that the simulation results obtained from our model matched more closely with that of SIMON 2.0. We also could evaluate the time of electron tunneling through the barrier by using the quantizer. Clearly, our macro-model gives more...

    A new approach for automatic test pattern generation in register transfer level circuits

    , Article IEEE Design and Test ; Volume 30, Issue 4 , 2013 , Pages 49-59 ; 21682356 (ISSN) Mirzaei, M ; Tabandeh, M ; Alizadeh, B ; Navabi, Z ; Sharif University of Technology
    2013
    Abstract
    The article proposes an approach to generate high-level test patterns from the arithmetic model of a register-transfer-level (RTL) circuit using a hybrid canonical data structure based on a decision diagram. High-level simplified and fast symbolic path activation strategy as well as input justification is combined with test pattern generation for circuits under consideration. For simplification of a test procedure, some ATPG approaches have been introduced based on binary decision diagram (BDD) tools. Since these methods require the design to be flattened into the bit level, they cannot be used to deal with large industrial benchmarks efficiently, either in terms of memory or runtime....

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Mirzaei, Mohammad (Author) ; Tabandeh, Mahmoud (Supervisor) ; Navabi, Zainalabedin (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    Increasing in size and complexity of digital designs has made manufacturing process more complex and enforces more complexity in verification of designs. This makes it essential to address critical verification issues at the early stages of design cycle. Such a complicated designs needs to be tested for fabrication faults as well as functional faults. Several attempts have been made to raise the quality of testing methods with automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) and design for testability (DFT) methods in logic and lower levels. Although these techniques try to increase the testability of a circuit considerably, but there are always some overheads in area, power and performance....

    Abstract
    By advances in technology, integrated circuits have come to include more functionality and more complexity in a single chip. Although methods of testing have improved, but the increase in complexity of circuits, keeps testing a challenging problem. Two important challenges in testing of digital circuits are test time and accessing the circuit under test (CUT) for testing. These challenges become even more important in complex system on chip (SoC) zone. This paper presents an improved scheme for generating pre-computed test patterns in core-based systems on chip. This approach reduces the number of pre-computed test patterns and as the result, test application time (TAT) will be decreased....

    Abstract
    This study considers blood fl ow in Total Cavopulmonary Connection (TCPC) morphology, created in Fontan surgical procedure in patients with single ventricle heart disease. Ordinary process of TCPC operation reduces pulmonary blood fl ow pulsatility; because of right ventricle being bypassed. This reduction may limit the long term outcome of Fontan circulation. There is an idea stating that keeping Main Pulmonary Artery (MPA) partially open, would increase pulmonary fl ow pulsations. MPA gets closed in ordinary TCPC operation. The purpose of current study is to verify effects of Antegrade Flow (AF) coming through stenosed MPA on pulmonary fl ow pulsations, by means of Computational Fluid...

    Abstract
    This work provides a canonical representation for manipulation of RTL designs. Work has already been done on a canonical and graph-based representation called Taylor Expansion Diagram (TED). Although TED can effectively be used to represent arithmetic expressions at the word-level, it is not memory efficient in representing bit-level logic expressions. In addition, TED cannot represent Boolean expressions at the word-level (vector-level). In this paper, we present modifications to TED that will improve its ability for bit-level logic representation while enhancing its robustness to represent word-level Boolean expressions. It will be shown that for bit-level logic expressions, the Enhanced...

    Abstract
    A novel high-level fault model to accelerate test process of on-chip communication structures for SoCs is proposed. To this end, bus components are modeled using a simple, yet efficient, graph-based technique and all possible faults on the graph nodes are probed. The proposed method is optimized in terms of test time. The method applies the same test process to all interconnects and components. Compared to the conventional stuck-at fault testing methods, our extensive simulations on the AMBA-AHB bus architecture reveal that our test method can help in achieving a significant test speed improvement

    Abstract
    Fontan operation is a final palliative surgical treatment for patients with a single ventricle (SV) physiology. One of the common disadvantages of Fontan operation is to generate a non-pulsatile flow instead of the normal pulsatile flow produced by contraction of the ventricle. Theoretically, in SV patients, maintaining the antegrade flow through pulmonary valve can produce flow pulsatility in the right and left pulmonary arteries. However, it not only increases the energy loss in the Fontan of total cavopulmonary pathway (TCPC), but also imposes an extra load on pulmonary arteries as well as the ventricle. In this study, the potential capability of pulmonary valve of the patient that can be...
