In this paper we investigate optimal voltage testing approaches for physically-based faults in CMOS circuits. We describe the general nature of the problem and then focus on two f...
Microprocessor designers use techniques such as clock gating to reduce power dissipation. An unfortunate side-effect of these techniques is the processor current fluctuations th...
IDDQ testing has been used as a test technique to supplement voltage testing of CMOS chips. The idea behind IDDQ testing is to declare a chip as faulty if the steady-state current...
Sub-threshold operation is a compelling approach for energyconstrained applications, but increased sensitivity to variation must be mitigated. We explore variability metrics and t...
Circuit reliability is affected by various fabrication-time and run-time effects. Fabrication-induced process variation has significant impact on circuit performance and reliabilit...
