Title
Detection of asymmetric aging-critical voltage conditions in analog power-down mode
Abstract
In this work, a new verification method for the power-down mode of analog circuit blocks is presented. In power-down mode, matched transistors can be stressed with asymmetric voltages. This will cause time-dependent mismatch due to transistor aging. In order to avoid reliability problems, a new method for automatic detection of asymmetric power-down stress conditions is presented. Therefore, power-down voltage-matching rules are formulated. The method combines structural analysis and voltage propagation. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the approach.
