Abstract(in English) A compact on-chip signal monitor circuit uses voltage mode sensing by a source follower circuit with small input device geometry, followed by a shared current bus. A prototype signal monitor circuit demonstrated a 1.1-GHz effective bandwidth for 1.0-V full-swing degital signals in a 90-nm CMOS technology, where the monitor used 2.5-V I/O CMOS transistors and occupied a 30μm×120μm silicon area. We also showed that such signal monitor circuits can be tailored to sense of power supply, ground, as well as full-swing logic signal wirings, and form an array with a single current potput. Therefore, an on-chip multi-channel signal monitor enables multiple-points as well as multiple-voltagedomain waveform acquisition for the purpose of the in-depth study of digital signal integrity.
