  • Patent number: 11531056
    Abstract: The disclosure describes to techniques for detecting field failures or performance degradation of circuits, including integrated circuits (IC), by including additional contacts, i.e. terminals, along with the functional contacts that used for connecting the circuit to a system in which the circuit is a part. These additional contacts may be used to measure dynamic changing electrical characteristics over time e.g. voltage, current, temperature and impedance. These electrical characteristics may be representative of a certain failure mode and may be an indicator for circuit state-of-health (SOH), while the circuit is performing in the field.
