Abstract(in English) In recent years, as the high speed and miniaturization of LSIs have improved, it has become more difficult to test LSIs.During LSI testing, the power consumption increases due to more switching activities than in normal operation, and then excessive IR-drop occurs. When excessive IR-drop occurs, excessive delays which may lead to test malfunction even if circuits with no problems in normal operation Therefore, in order to avoid test malfunction, it is necessary to apply appropriate techniques before LSI testing is conducted. Excessive IR-drop does not occur in the entire circuit, but in areas where switching activities are densely concentrated.Therefore, in order to effectively reduce excessive IR-drops, it is important to locate areas where switching activity densely occurs.In this paper, we present the method to locate areas where many switching activities occur with switching probabilities of logic gates, and then we evaluate its effectiveness and efficiency.
