We present an in situ approach to detect the initial onset of oxide breakdown in large-scale circuits for wearout detection and management. The detection is based on a change in the resistive behavior of the oxide from non-linear to linear. Two 65 nm test-chips show robustness under temperature variation and capture of the onset of failure after just 0.5% delay increase in a FIR filter.
