In this paper, test time reduction for I DDQ testing is discussed. Although I DDQ testing is known to be effective to detect faults in CMOS circuit, test time of IDDQ testing is larger than that of logic testing. It is shown that test time of I DDQ test mostly depends on switching current. To reduce test time of I DDQ testing, the procedure to arrange test vectors such that switching current quickly disappears is proposed for combinational circuits. The procedure utilizes a unit delay model to estimate the time of the last transition of logic value from L to H in a circuit. Experimental results for benchmark circuits show the effectiveness of the procedure.
