Abstract
A method for generating charge sharing test vectors for a circuit generates a first test vector ( ) and a second test vector ( ). The method provides a test model ( ) including a logic cell ( ) and an auxiliary test circuit ( ) where the auxiliary test circuit ( ) includes a discharge AND gate ( ) and a charge sharing AND gate ( ). The method generates a first test vector ( ) for the test model ( ) having an input pattern to discharge nodes of the logic cell ( ) and evaluate discharge AND gate ( ) to a logic level 1. The method generates a second test vector ( ) having an input pattern to evoke the worst charge sharing behavior for the logic cell ( ) and evaluate charge sharing AND gate ( ) to a logic level 1.
