The test case is introduced firstly. The displacement time histories are then used to analyze the dynamic property such as fundamental frequency of vertical vibration and damping ratio of the test structure, and the acceleration time histories are applied to evaluate the floor vibration serviceability. The floor interaction and comparison of human walking and running are also discussed. Some valuable conclusions are given.展开更多

To reduce the bandwidth requirement between the automatic test equipment (ATE) and the CUT (circuit under test) effectively, a novel VSPTIDR (variable shifting prefix-tail identifier reverse) code for test stimulus data compression is designed. The encoding scheme is defined and analyzed in detail, and the decoder is presented and discussed. While the probability of 0 bits in the test set is greater than 0.92, the compression ratio from VSPTIDR code is better than the frequency-directed run-length (FDR) code, which can be proved by theoretical analysis and experiments. And the on-chip area overhead of VSPTIDR decoder is about 15.75 % less than the FDR decoder.展开更多
