ABSTRACT:
A test circuit (10) is connected to a package pin of an integrated circuit via the first node (16). By setting the voltage on the package pin to a sufficient voltage, the test circuit becomes operable to measure DC characteristics of devices in the test circuit. The DC characteristics of the test circuit devices, such as resistors (26 and 34), diodes (44) and transistors (30 and 32) are used to estimate the AC characteristics of the actual integrated circuit. The AC characteristic estimations may be used to screen parts into various speed classes.
