This paper presents a new approach for on-chip test pattern generation. The set of test patterns generated by a pseudo-random pattern generator (e.g., an LFSR) is transformed into...
Popular code coverage measures, such as branch coverage, are indicators of the thoroughness rather than the fault detection capability of test suites. Mutation testing is a fault-...
Coarse-grain multi-threshold CMOS (MTCMOS) is an effective power-gating technique to reduce IC's leakage power consumption by turning off idle devices with MTCMOS power switc...
As the technology is shrinking and the working frequency is going into multi gigahertz range, the issues related to interconnect testing are becoming more dominant. Specifically,...

In this paper we analyze the performance of a mixed built-in-self-test (BiST) for RF IC digital transceivers, where a baseband processor can be used both as a test pattern generat...
