A novel low-voltage design of Iddq/delta Iddq architecture suitable for a Built-In-Self-Test (BIST) implementation with analog, digital or mixed-signal cores is proposed. In testing mode, the architecture performs a non-functional Iddq and delta Iddq test which enables more accurate fail/pass decision. A 1.2V high-frequency current amplifying cell is developed as a central part of the Iddq/delta Iddq current monitor. With sensitivity of less than 200nA, the monitor achieves a gain-bandwidth product of 6.8GHz, a low frequency current gain of 48dB, and a high linearity for input current range (-15?A, 15?A). Its functionality and high performances are verified in experimental simulations. The Iddq fault detector has been implemented in 0.13?m CMOS technology with 1.2V power supply.
