AFTA: A Formal Delay Model for Functional Timing Analysis
Despite its importance, we find that a rigorous theoretical foundation for performing timing analysis has been lacking so far. As a result, we have initiated a research project th...

Characterization-Free Behavioral Power Modeling
We propose a new approach to RT-level power modeling for combinationalmacros, that does not require simulationbased characterization. A pattern-dependent power model for a macro i...

Testing and Diagnosis of Interconnect Structures in FPGAs
Since Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are reprogrammable, faults in them can be easily toleruted once fault sites are located. Previous researches on diagnosis of FPGAs mai...

Special ATPG to Correlate Test Patterns for Low-Overhead Mixed-Mode BIST
In mixed-mode BIST, deterministic test patterns are generated with on-chip hardware to detect the random-pattern-resistant (r.p.r.) faults that are missed by the pseudo-random pat...

Partitioning and Reordering Techniques for Static Test Sequence Compaction of Sequential Circuits
We propose a new static test set compaction method based on a careful examination of attributes of fault coverage curves. Our method is based on two key ideas: 1 fault-list and te...
