  • Abstract
    In this paper, the dynamic supply current test (IDDT) for logic circuits is presented, where the targeted defects are weak opens in regular structures (SRAM arrays). Considerations about the current based tests are made, and a method of IDDT sensor realization is presented. The method is based on conversion of the current waveform to a voltage waveform. Also the most effective parameters of both the dynamic supply current waveform and voltage waveform are analyzed and evaluated.
