Abstract
A method is provided for analyzing a test vector for use in measuring static current consumed by an integrated circuit that has an embedded memory device. According to the method, a potential test vector is applied to a functional model of the integrated circuit. The logic states of various nodes in the integrated circuit are detected in response to the potential test vector. At least some of the nodes correspond to the input address bits of the memory device, where the memory device has a valid address range on the input address bits. An output is produced for the potential test vector based on whether these logic states correspond to an address within the valid address range.
