Abstract
The majority of wafer-level testing of digital devices is condiicted at frequencies below about 10 MHz. This is often ifhe case even when the IC is expected to operate at many times that rate in a system environment. To some extent, low frequency wafer probing can be supplemented by high frequency testing of the packaged device. However, the increased use of multi-chip packaging techniques makes at-speed wafer or die testing mandatory for many applications. Power supply decoupling is critical at fre
