TITLE: MOSIS/AMI-0.6 SMARTFRAME FOR CADENCE TOOLS

A MOSIS TinyChip pad-frame with built-in   self-test is available
at  no  charge  from the University of Tennessee.  The smartframe
has  been  fabricated  on  the  AMI-0.6   (C5N)   process   using
SCN3ME_SUBM  rules  and  Cadence  tools.  Student projects can be
placed  inside  the  frame    and   stimulated  using    patterns
generated    on-the-fly   at  full system speed.  The   responses
are   collected     and     compressed     into signatures  which
are  then compared on-chip to hardwired "golden" values  obtained
from  simulation.   Alternatively,  raw  inputs corresponding  to
the    functional    vectors    for   each  student design can be
presented to the external pins and the raw  outputs observed  for
debugging  purposes.
