The problems are increased leakage current due to increasing number of gates as well as due to increased sub-threshold leakage of the individual transistors. While methods such as substrate-bias and low temperature are adequate to reduce sub-threshold leakage in deep submicron technologies, almost no solution is available to address the issue of increased leakage due to enormous size of the SoC design. In this paper, we first present a design-for-test concept to address the issue of high leakage due to the large size of SoC design. Secondly, we provide some design rules that are necessary to make SoC design suitable for Iddq testing. The design methodology presented in this paper facilitates Iddq testing by controlling power-supply of the individual cores through JTAG boundary scan and allows Iddq testing on one core at a time. The design does not require any dedicated pin for this control and area overhead is negligible.","PeriodicalId":183890,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 IEEE International Workshop on IDDQ Testing (Cat.

We show that it is possible to identify defective devices by analyzing the transient signals measured at test points on paths not sensitized from the defect site. The small signal variations generated at these test points are analyzed in both the time and frequency domain. Linear regression analysis is used to show the absence of correlation in these signals across the outputs of bridging and open drain defective devices. A statistical method and an algorithm for identifying defective devices are presented that is based on the standard deviation of regression residuals computed over a compressed representation of these signals.","PeriodicalId":183890,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1998 IEEE International Workshop on IDDQ Testing (Cat.
