Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: A current mode fault detection circuit on sub-micron embedded SRAM's is presented here. Previous work has concentrated on the use of current testing using both transient and quiescent currents to detect faults. However, quiescent current detection becomes impractical as device geometry reach sub-micron regions. Here we validate the use of transient power supply testing on sub-micron 0.35u TSMC process. The current detection circuit presented here successfully detects and differentiates between faulty-free and faulty SRAM cells.
