Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure includes systems and methods for diagnosing and correcting deficiencies in operation of integrated circuits. A set of operational data of an integrated circuit is received by a network via a communication interface. A deficiency in operation of the integrated circuit is diagnosed based on the set of operational data. A correction is generated for improving operation of the integrated circuit based on the deficiency diagnosed. The correction is transmitted over the network via the communication interface to the integrated circuit.
Claims13
A computer system comprising:
- a communication interface;
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a set of instructions that, as a result of execution by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
- receive, over a network via the communication interface, a first set of data obtained from a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) device;
- diagnose a first deficiency in operation of the first ADC device based on the first set of data;
- generate a set of first correction coefficients for improving operation of the first ADC device based on the first deficiency diagnosed;
- transmit, over the network via the communication interface, the set of first correction coefficients to the first ADC device;
- receive, over the network via the communication interface, a second set of data obtained from a second ADC device that operates differently than the first ADC device;
- diagnose a second deficiency in operation of the second ADC device based on the second set of data;
- generate a set of second correction coefficients for improving operation of the second ADC device based on the second deficiency diagnosed;
- and
- transmit, over the network via the communication interface, the set of second correction coefficients to the second ADC device.
A system, comprising:
- a plurality of correction modules configured to diagnose and correct deficiencies in operation of integrated circuits;
- a communication interface configured to receive, over a network, data sets regarding operation of integrated circuits;
- and
- a classification module configured to route the data sets to corresponding correction modules based on classification information associated with the data sets,
- wherein a first correction module of the plurality of correction modules is configured to diagnose and correct operational deficiencies in a first type or architecture of integrated circuit, and a second correction module of the plurality of correction modules is configured to diagnose and correct operational deficiencies in a second type or architecture of integrated circuit.
