The design of compact noise detector circuitry that could be embedded and arrayed within a high-density large-scale digital circuit was demonstrated. In-depth characterization of dynamic power-supply and ground noises by the built-in noise detection technique can validate and/or calibrate dynamic power-supply analysis (IR drop) methodologies that are becoming requisite to nanometer scale digital integrated circuits.
