Title
Test Time Reduction for I DDQ Testing by Arranging Test Vectors
Abstract
In this paper, test time reduction for I DDQ testing isdiscussed. Although I DDQ testing is known to be effectiveto detect faults in CMOS circuit, test time of IDDQ testingis larger than that of logic testing. It is shown that testtime of I DDQ test mostly depends on switching current. Toreduce test time of I DDQ testing, the procedure to arrangetest vectors such that switching current quickly disappearsis proposed for combinational circuits. The procedureutilizes a unit delay model to estimate the time of the lasttransition of logic value from L to H in a circuit.Experimental results for benchmark circuits show theeffectiveness of the procedure.
