  • Abstract
    By combining a measurement of the supply voltages below which a digital integrated circuit misoperates during a functional test, and a lightspot scanning technique, it is shown how defects can be both detected and located in circuits which otherwise appear normal. Equipment is described and examples are given of defects found.
