Despite all of the advantages that circular BIST ofsers compared to conventional BIST approaches in terms of low area overhead, simple control logic, and easy insertion, it has se...
Accumulators based on addition or subtraction can be used as test pattern generators. Some circuits, however, require long test lengths if the parameters of the accumulator are no...
A new approach for testing the bistable elements (latches and flip-flops) in scan chain circuits is presented. In this approach, we generate test patterns that apply a checking ex...
We address the problem of rectifying an incorrect combinational circuit against a given specification. Based on the symbolic BDD techniques, we consider the rectification process,...
Two fast algorithms for static test sequence compaction are proposed for sequential circuits. The algorithms are based on the observation that test sequences traverse through a sm...

We describe a technique to generate critical hazard-free tests for self-timed control circuits build using a macromodule library, in a partial scan based DFT environment. Wepropos...
A stress procedure for reliability screening, SHOrt Voltage Elevation (SHOVE) test, is analyzed here. During SHOVE, test vectors are run at higher-than-normal supply voltage for a...
