: We present several techniques for accelerating dynamic vector compaction for combinational and sequential circuits. A key feature of all our techniques is that they significantly...
During built-in self-test (BIST), the set of patterns generated by a pseudo-random pattern generator may not provide a sufficiently high fault coverage. This paper presents a new ...
We investigate a new fault ordering heuristic for test generation in full-scan circuits. The heuristic is referred to as the accidental detection index. It associates a value ADI ...
As silicon process technology scales deeper into the nanometer regime, hardware defects are becoming more common. Such defects are bound to hinder the correct operation of future ...

High-level test pattern generation is today a widely investigated research topic. The present paper proposes a fully automated, simulation-based ATPG system, to address test patte...
