Abstract :
A new high speed Built-In Current (BIC) sensor is proposed, which is applicable for IDDQ tests of low power ICs. The layout of the sensor is designed with CMOS 1.2 μm technology. By using this sensor, resistive bridging faults in a circuit, whose supply voltage is 3.3 V, can be detected at the test speed of 66.7 MHz
