Abstract
A leakage current detection device includes a test detection circuit, a reference detection circuit, a comparator, and a latch circuit. The test detection circuit is coupled between a test node and a test line, provides a voltage to the test node to charge the test line, floats the test node and the test line, and decreases a voltage of the test node based on leakage current of the test line. The reference detection circuit is coupled between a reference node and a reference line, provides the voltage to the reference node to charge the reference line, floats the reference node and the reference line, and decreases a voltage of the reference node based on self-discharge of the reference line. The comparator outputs a comparison signal by comparing voltages of the test node and the reference node. The latch circuit latches the comparison signal to output a test result signal.
