Due to the development of high speed circuits beyond the 2-GHz mark, the significance of automatic test pattern generation for Path Delay Faults (PDFs) drastically increased in t...
Reliability of nanometer circuits is becoming a major concern in today’s VLSI chip design due to interferences from multiple noise sources as well as radiation-induced soft erro...
— Determination of maximum operating frequencies (Fmax) during manufacturing test at different operating voltages is required to: (a) to ensure that, for a Dynamic Voltage and Fr...
Single-bit second-order delta-sigma modulators are commonly used in high-resolution ADCs. Testing this type of modulator requires a high-resolution test stimulus, which is diffic...
Deep submicron technology calls for new design techniques, in which wire and gate delays are accounted to have equal or nearly equal effect on circuit behavior. Asynchronous speed...
