Functional verification is widely acknowledged as the bottleneck in the hardware design cycle. This paper addresses one of the main challenges of simulation based verification (or...
This paper develops an improved approach for hierarchical functional test generation for complex chips. In order to deal with the increasing complexity of functional test generati...
Embedded First-In First-Out (FIFO) memories are increasingly used in many IC designs. We have created a new full-custom embedded FIFO module with asynchronous read and write clock...

This paper presents a testability improvement method for digital systems described in VHDL behavioral specification. The method is based on testability analysis at registertransfe...
Due to the increased speed in modern designs, testing for delay faults has become an important issue in the postproduction test of manufactured chips. A high fault coverage is nee...
