Functional validation is a major bottleneck in microprocessor design methodology. Simulation is the widely used method for functional validation using billions of random and biase...
This paper explores the design of efficient test sets and test-pattern generators for online BIST. The target applications are high-performance, scalable datapath circuits for whi...
: High defect coverage requires good coverage of different fault types. In this paper, we present a comprehensive test vector generation technique for BIST, called Random Single In...
A hierarchical test generation method is presented that uses the inherent hierarchical structure of the circuit under test and takes fault diagnosability into account right from t...
Deterministic observation and random excitation of fault sites during the ATPG process dramatically reduces the overall defective part level. However, multiple observations of eac...
