Method and apparatus for detecting degradation in an integrated circuit chip

A system that detects degradation in an integrated circuit chip. During operation, the system monitors a pair of pins on the integrated circuit chip and in doing so, generates a time series of parameters for the pins. The system then determines whether the time series of parameters indicates that th...

Zusammenfassung:A system that detects degradation in an integrated circuit chip. During operation, the system monitors a pair of pins on the integrated circuit chip and in doing so, generates a time series of parameters for the pins. The system then determines whether the time series of parameters indicates that the integrated circuit chip has degraded. If so, the system generates a signal indicating that the integrated circuit chip has degraded.
