Abstract

We present two new algorithms for generating a small set of patterns for estimating the maximum instantaneous current through the power supply lines for CMOS circuits. The first algorithm is based on timed ATPG, while the second is a probability-based approach. Both algorithms can handle circuits with arbitrary but known delays and they produce a set of 2-vector tests. Experimental results demonstrating that the outcome of applying our algorithms is a small set of patterns producing a current that is a tight lower bound on the maximum instantaneous current are included.
