We present a novel analog checker that adjusts dynamically the error threshold to the magnitude of its input signals. We demonstrate that this property is crucial for accurate con...
In this paper, an efficient technique for test data volume reduction based on the shared scan-in (Illinois Scan) architecture and the scan chain reconfiguration (Dynamic Scan) arc...

With increasing circuit complexity and reliability requirements, screening outlier chips is an increasingly important test challenge. This is especially true for IDDQ test due to ...
This paper addresses the problem of compacting test responses in the presence of unknowns at the input of the compactor by exploiting the capabilities of well-known error detectio...

Irreversible computation necessarily results in energy dissipation due to information loss. While small in comparison to the power consumption of today’s VLSI circuits, if curre...
Delay faults are an increasingly important test challenge. Traditional open and bridge fault models are incomplete because only the functional fault or a subset of delay fault are...
