Abstract
A testing device for slowly bleeding charge away from a primary node in a dynamic logic circuit. A properly functioning keeper device in the dynamic logic circuit will maintain the primary node in a precharged state even in the face of this bleeding device. If the logic circuit output flips after the bleeder device begins bleeding charge, a defective keeper device is thereby identified.
