Dependable Heterogeneous Design at System Level

Description of research

 

The aim of the project is to design dependable heterogeneous systems (SoC or SiP), which include vast digital resources, analog-digital and digital-analog blocks and (MEMS) sensors/actuators.

New CMOS technologies offer multiple embedded processors and other massive digital resources on chip. Nowadays, in heterogeneous systems, the testing of analogue and MEMS parts determine the majority of diagnosis and repair problems and costs. In safety-critical and heavy environmental condition applications, like electronics in medical and automotive applications, the dependability of these systems is of key importance.
Basic idea is to implement a high dependability of heterogeneous systems by applying both Built-In Self-Diagnostics (BISD) as well as Built-In Self-Repair
(BISR) using a combination of hardware and software, with a focus on MEMS IP (MEMS + associated MS circuits).
