Synthesis of Mapping Logic for Generating Transformed Pseudo-Random Patterns for BIST
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 ...

Evolving Cellular Automata for Self-Testing Hardware
Testing is a key issue in the design and production of digital circuits: the adoption of BIST (Built-In Self-Test) techniques is increasingly popular, but requires efficient algori...

Low Power BIST with Smoother and Scan-Chain Reorder
In this paper, we propose a low-power testing methodology for the scan-based BIST. A smoother is included in the test pattern generator (TPG) to reduce average power consumption d...

Partial Detectability Profiles
Partial detectability profiles are formed by randomly sampling each fault's detectability and are used in estimating the fault coverage of random input test vectors on combin...

Simulation Results of an Efficient Defect-Analysis Procedure
For obtaining a zero defect level, a high fault coverage with respect to the stuck-at fault model is often not sufficient as there are many defects that show a more complex behavi...

An efficient procedure for the synthesis of fast self-testable controller structures
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...

Altering a Pseudo-Random Bit Sequence for Scan-Based BIST
This paper presents a low-overhead scheme for built-in self-test of circuits with scan. Complete (100%) fault coverage is obtained without modifying the function logic and without...

Built-in test generation for synchronous sequential circuits
We consider the problem of built-in test generation for synchronous sequential circuits. The proposed scheme leaves the circuit flip-flops unmodified, and thus allows at-speed ...
