Patent number: 8425115Abstract: A compact resistive thermal sensor is provided for an integrated circuit (IC), wherein different sensor components are placed on different layers of the IC. This allows the lateral area needed for the sensor resistance wire on any particular IC layer to be selectively reduced. In a useful embodiment, first linear conductive members are positioned in a first IC layer, in parallel relationship with one another. Second linear conductive members are positioned in a second IC layer in parallel relationship with one another. Conductive elements connect the first linear members into a first conductive path, and the second linear members into a second conductive path. A third conductive element extending between the first and second layers connects the first and second conductive paths into a single conductive path, wherein the path resistance varies with temperature. The path resistance is used to determine temperature.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2011Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Aquilur Rahman, Lloyd A.

Patent number: 6970798Abstract: For testing a device under test (“DUT”) a test specification is converted in a computer system by a pin vector generator process, which includes generating test vectors. The DUT has numerous input pins and such a pin vector is for a signal to drive one such pin. The pin vectors are compressed and saved. Ones of the pin vectors are loaded, upon initialization of a test, into a pipeline having a series of memory stages and extending from the computer system to channel cards in a test head. The pipeline is operated in data transfer cycles, delivering W bits per cycle. The pin vectors are decompressed at the respective channel cards in decompressor read cycles. X bits are read per decompressor cycle, W being greater than X, so that the pipeline may perform its data transfer cycles less frequently than the decompressor performs its read cycles.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2004Date of Patent: November 29, 2005Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Tai Anh Cao, Khanh Nguyen, Aquilur Rahman
