抄録
This paper proposes a new current testing method, active current testing, for detecting various fault classes of CMOS circuits. The proposed method is an extended method of VDD ramp testing, and it is carried out by applying various input signals for the circuit under test. If a power supply current is measured by changing both a power supply voltage and an input signal, we can make the internal condition of a circuit various. Then, fault detection by current testing becomes more effective than conventional VDD ramp testing.
We apply active current testing to two CMOS circuits, an operational amplifier and a level shifter, and demonstrate its fault detection ability. Except for the special case of circuit behavior, we found that active current testing can detect both hard faults (i.e., short and open faults) and soft faults (i.e., process variations and reliability degradation).
