A central problem in built-in self test (BIST) is how to efficiently generate a small set of test vectors that detect all targeted faults. We propose a novel solution that uses l...
—We study the effect of the controller on the testability of sequential circuits composed of controllers and data paths. We show that even when all the loops of the circuit have ...
State space techniques have proven to be useful for measuring and improving the coverage of test vectors that are used during functional validation via simulation. By comparing th...
We introduce a novel method of test generation for microprocessors at the RTL using spectral methods. Test vectors are generated for RTL faults, which are the stuck-at faults on i...
Energy Consumption Ratio (ECR) test, a current-based test, has shown its ability to reduce the impact of process variations and detect hard-to-detect faults. The effectiveness of ...
