Abstract :
We report on implementation of random sampling methodology for on-chip measurements of the pin-to-pin propagation delay of single standard cells of core library. A test chip has been implemented in 0.13 μm GL130SB (130 nm Logic Process) technology at Dongbu HiTek and used to monitor up to picosecond´s timing behavior of 32 DUT´s of core library. Observed mismatch between simulated and measured parameters helps to improve and verify library cell models.
