Title
A Monobit Built-In Test and Diagnostic System for Flexible Electronic Interconnect
Abstract
Flexible hybrid electronics (FHE) systems are an emerging technology that can be used in various applications such as automotive systems, energy harvesting, wireless transmission, and wearable electronics. However, due to wear and tear from stretching and twisting of the flexible substrate, interconnect designed onto flexible substrates are subject to loss of performance and failure. Therefore it becomes imperative to design low cost test coupons for flexible substrate interconnect that can be used to detect and diagnose interconnect failure due to onset of mechanical stress. In this paper, a monobit built-in test and diagnosis system for flexible electronic interconnect is introduced and verified in simulation. Methods for in-situ monitoring, signal reconstruction, impedance change detection and diagnosis are introduced. The proposed monobit architecture and associated algorithms achieve efficient test and diagnostics without the use of complex electronics such as needed for time-domain reflectometry (TDR).
