The scheme is based on applying a pair of transition patterns and observing the transition count of the transient output response of a circuit to defect faults. A fast and memory-efficient fault simulator which is based on PPSFP mechanism but can handle timing is implemented. Experimental results show that this scheme can reach a higher fault coverage than the conventional stuck-at fault testing.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":182440,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 3rd Asian Test Symposium (ATS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130268317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In it, stuck-at faults of switch cells are assumed. Testing of the array composed of switch cells can be executed easily because of the regular structure of the array. Moreover, if faulty cell is identified we can isolate the faulty cell from the remaining cells. The ternary functions represented by Ternary Decision Diagrams (TDD's) are realized by mapping the TDD's to the cellular arrays directly. Proposed arrays are more advantageous than ternary PLA's for their sizes in realizations of symmetric functions and are also useful for the realizations of multiple-output functions.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":182440,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 3rd Asian Test Symposium (ATS)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116847154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The number of the required extra primary inputs is only two, while both the hardware and delay overhead are very small and decrease with increasing N. For example, for our C-testable design of the 64/spl times/64 multiplier, the hardware overhead is 1.60% and the delay overhead is 9.76%.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":182440,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 3rd Asian Test Symposium (ATS)","volume":"220 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115836853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Considering the fact that test response observation and test application only use a fraction of the whole testing time, a test subsession partitioning scheme is offered. Therefore, some further sources of the test scheduling problem are used. Subcircuits in conflict according to the definition are only partially in conflict now. A new test scheduling algorithm is given after the test subsession partitioning scheme is combined. This algorithm has learning ability by recording the previous conflict information, which prunes the searching space of the test scheduling problem effectively.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":182440,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE 3rd Asian Test Symposium (ATS)","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122879552","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
