The final barriers to widespread use of IDDQ testing

I_DDQ testing is required for high quality products. Several barriers to I_DDQ testing have fallen. This is due to the rising importance of testing, quality, and CAD tool integration of design and test. Both theory and practice have demonstrated the value of I_DDQ testing methodologies. Three key issues still hinder widespread utilization of I_DDQ. The first issue is how does I _DDQ compete with other test methods. The second issue is what measurement techniques can be used. And the third issue is how to set the I_DDQ current limit to catch defective parts without rejecting defect-free parts. The thesis of this presentation is that the issues are being actively worked, and the barriers will fall
