  • Abstract
    A test-chip for monitoring soft failures is presented. Diagnostics include logic circuit upset detection, substrate potential latchup monitors, input glitch detectors, system IDDQ monitors, and USB transmitters. Powered TLP testing and IEC61000-4-2 ESD produce different failures. Also, different failures are reported for mobile systems and those powered through grounded supplies.
