Optimal voltage testing for physically-based faults
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...

Eliminating voltage emergencies via microarchitectural voltage control feedback and dynamic optimization
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...

Divide-and-Conquer IDDQ Testing for Core-Based System Chips
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...

Variation-driven device sizing for minimum energy sub-threshold circuits
Sub-threshold operation is a compelling approach for energyconstrained applications, but increased sensitivity to variation must be mitigated. We explore variability metrics and t...
