Abstract :
This paper focuses on the power delivery characterization of high-speed IC memories by means of on-chip measurements. A systematic analysis of the measurement setup, of the effects of chip biasing and of the use of the measured responses to develop models defined by simplified circuit equivalents is given. All the results collected in the paper are based on real measurements carried out on a commercial 90 nm flash memory.
