Abstract: Techniques for mitigating/eliminating the impact of duty distortion caused by delays in clock paths within a built-in high-frequency test circuit for NAND flash are disclosed. By mitigating or eliminating the impact of duty distortion, accuracy of the valid data window measurement is ensured. Rising edges of a strobe clock signal and an inverted strobe clock signal are used to respectively locate even and odd data (or vice versa) within an input buffer of the NAND flash during respective sweeps of the strobe and inverted strobe clock signals. In this manner, even if the strobe clock signal's duty ratio is distorted, there is no impact on the valid data window measurement. Further, read latency is used to introduce delay to a read enable (RE) clock signal, thereby obviating the need for a replica controlled delay in the RE clock path and eliminating the duty distortion that would otherwise occur.

In one embodiment, the process includes a plurality of caustic extractions of coal ash at an elevated temperature, followed by an acidic treatment to dissolve aluminum silicate and REEs. The dissolved aluminum silicate is precipitated out by pH adjustment as a solid product while REEs remain in the solution. REEs are captured and enriched using an ion exchange column. Alternatively, the solution containing aluminum silicate and REEs is heated to produce silica gel, which is easily separated from the enriched REEs solution. REEs are then isolated and purified from the enriched solution to afford substantially pure individual REE by a ligand-assisted chromatography.
