lhis paper presents a new method for detecting defect and fabrication variations in both digital and analog CMOS circuits by simultaneously puking the power supply raik and analyzing the temporal andlor the spectral characteristics of the resulting transient rail currents. lhe method presented has a distinct advantage over other forms of iDD testing because it requires a single test vector to excite and expose the presence of a defect or irregular fabrication process condition. lhis paper presents data fhom simulations and defective IC's supporting this technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
