  • Publication number: 20230146920
    Abstract: Introduced herein is a technique that reliably measures on-die noise of logic in a chip. The introduced technique places a noise measurement system in partitions of the chip that are expected to cause the most noise. The introduced technique utilizes a continuous free-running clock that feeds functional frequency to the noise measurement circuit throughout the noise measurement scan test. This allows the noise measurement circuit to measure the voltage noise of the logic during a shift phase, which was not possible in the conventional noise measurement method. Also, by being able to measure the voltage noise during a shift phase and hence in both phases of the scan test, the introduced technique can perform a more comprehensive noise measurement not only during ATE testing but as part of IST in the field.
