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 ...
This paper proposes an environment to address Testability Analysis and Test Pattern Generation on VHDL descriptions at the RT-level. The proposed approach, based on a suitable fau...
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...

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 are formed by randomly sampling each fault's detectability and are used in estimating the fault coverage of random input test vectors on combin...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
−This paper describes a new redundant fault identification algorithm with Exclusive-OR circuit reduction. The experimental results using this algorithm with a FAN-based test patt...
