Abstract

Techniques are presented for determining current leakage from a memory array or other circuit based on a low voltage path. For example, the technique can be applied to determine word line to word line leakage. By looking at a count for the clock used in regulating the low voltage output node, the amount of leakage can be determined. The leakage determination can be performed as part of test process or during normal memory operations.
