Abstract

In this paper, we propose the novel test method to detect short and open faults in CMOS Op-amp. The proposed method is composed of two test steps - the offset and the high frequency test. Using HSPICE simulation, we get a 100% fault coverage. To verify the proposed method, we design and fabricate the CMOS op-amp that contains various short and open faults through Hyundai 0.65$\mu\textrm{m}$ 2-poly 2-metal CMOS process. Experimental results of fabricated chip demonstrate that the proposed test method can detect short and open faults in CMOS Op-amp.
