Abstract
Technologies and methods for detecting voltage spikes on a semiconductor device include detecting a voltage spike in a first analog signal from a semiconductor device based on a comparison of the first analog signal and a first voltage threshold, and converting the first analog signal to a digital signal with a first pulse representing the voltage spike, and transforming the first pulse to a stretched pulse defining a greater width than the first pulse. More specific embodiments include receiving a second analog signal from a first pin on the semiconductor device during a capture time period, receiving a reference analog signal from a reference pin on the semiconductor device during the capture time period, and prior to detecting the voltage spike, generating the first analog signal by computing a difference between the second analog signal and the reference analog signal.
