Abstract
A semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) comprising a time-to-digital converter circuit (TDC), wherein time inputs to the TDC are (i) one or more input to an input/output (I/O) buffer of a pad of the IC, and (ii) one or more output from the I/O buffer. The IC comprises a digital comparator circuit electrically configured to: receive a stream of digital output values from the TDC, compare each value of the stream to one or more previous value in the stream, and when the comparison reflects a difference value greater than a threshold, issuing a notification to a user of the IC.
