We discuss fault equivalence and dominance relations for multiple output combinational circuits. The conventional definition for equivalence says that “Two faults are equivalen...
As we move to developing object-oriented programs, the complexity traditionally found in functions and procedures is moving to the connections among components. Different faults o...
Software-based self-test (SBST) has recently emerged as an effective methodology for the manufacturing test of processors and other components in systems-on-chip (SoCs). By moving ...
The BIST implementation of a conventionally synthesized controller in most cases requires the integration of an additional register only for test purposes. This leads to some seri...
The impact of test conditions on the detectability of open defects is investigated. We performed an inductive fault analysis on representative standard gates. The simulation resul...
