| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objectives of this research are to realize on-chip signal observation system for debug support in SoC development, which enables debugging of faults caused by signal integrity and power integrity in SoC development, to establish automatic generation technique of on-chip signal observation system to design in a short time, and to improve efficiency of debug support in practical applications by proposed on-chip signal observation system. We proposed and evaluated a standard-cell based rail-to-rail comparator for on-chip signal observation, established an automatic generation system for on-chip signal observation system, and applied it to an on-chip oscilloscope.
