We examine delay models used in VLSI circuit testing. Our study includes electrical-level simulation experiments with HSPICE. We show phenomena which signicantly aect the actual...
Recent results indicate that functional test pattern generation (TPG) techniques may provide better defect coverages than do traditional logic-level techniques. Functional TPG alg...
A test pattern generator (TPG) for built-in self-test (BIST), which can reduce switching activity during test application, is proposed. The proposed TPG, called dual-speed LFSR (DS...
This paper addresses the run-time diagnosis of delay faults in functional units of microprocessors. Despite the popularity of the stuck-at fault model, it is no longer the only re...
