Quiescent chip current (Iddq) has been known for many years, but its role has changed in just the past few years from a valuable means to screen for reliability to a demon threatening to derail the industry's phenomenal march of VLSI performance advances. Iddq originates with a phenomenon that is well-understood at the level of an individual transistor. However, at the chip level, both inter-chip and intra-chip process skew introduce wide and unexpected variation in Iddq. Despite these effects, meaningful predictions of Iddq can still be made at different points in the chip design cycle. |
