To aid general improvement and comparison of mixed-signal DFT methods and tools, including analog fault simulation, a set of analog, mixed-signal, and digital circuits are available for free. The initial cells were created by ams AG and Mentor. Additional contributions that use the same process files and operating conditions are welcome. Address any correspondence to [email protected].
VERSION 2.0 INCLUDES: (ITC 2017 AMS Benchmark Circuits)
• CMOS process device models, including typical and 4 corners, derived from ams’s 350 nm process
• SPICE netlists for 9 commonly used analog and mixed-signal functions (6 complex functions and 3 transmission gates)
• SPICE netlists and Verilog models for 42 basic combinational and sequential logic gates
• Testbenches for the functions and gates, including specifications with limits for operation at 3.3V, 27C
