This paper presents a real case study on the testing of 8-bit mixed-signal
CMOS micro-controller devices by applying the I-DDQ testing methodology. Th
e aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of using the I-DDQ test t
o enhance the overall fault coverage. Failure analysis operated on the fail
ed sample indicated a good correlation between the fault coverage and the p
arts that failed the I-DDQ test. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights
