Abstract:
Digital testing is performed on an integrated circuit while radiation upsets are induced at locations of the integrated circuit. For each digital test, a determination is made as to whether there is a variation in the output of the digital test from an expected output of the digital test. If there is variation, a time of the variation is indicated. In one example, a location of a defect in the digital circuit can be determined from the times of the variations. In other embodiments, a mapping of the digital circuit can be made from the times.
