Thereafter, it is a challenge to the test designer to design an optimum test covering the faults of the established fault models. A new fault model, the disturb fault model, is introduced. The notation of linked faults is established and it is shown that march tests can only detect a subset of all linked faults. Thereafter, the universe of linked faults is reduced to the set of realistic linked faults. Last, the effectiveness of the realistic linked fault model is shown via new tests with a higher fault coverage and a shorter test length.","PeriodicalId":215252,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth Asian Test Symposium (ATS'96)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115092793","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}

We consider a test generation procedure that takes advantage of such a decomposition. The paper focuses on one of the subproblems of the test generation problem, the input sequence propagation problem. The problem occurs when a test sequence T is applied to an embedded machine M'. The fault effects of the target faults of M' appear on the outputs of M' and must be propagated through a machine M driven by M'. We propose a solution to the problem of propagating the fault effects of a machine M' through another machine M. The solution maximizes the number of faults whose fault effects are propagated simultaneously. In this way, the overall test generation time and the test application time are minimized.","PeriodicalId":215252,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth Asian Test Symposium (ATS'96)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132459450","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}

It has been shown earlier, that UGNs can be tested completely for delay faults with 'universal' test sets. This result even holds for designs which are not completely path delay testable, since the above test sets check the temporal correctness of a circuit by testing 'path systems' instead of single paths. A universal test set only depends on the computed function and thus, is valid for any unate gate network implementation of this function. This universal test property has to be paid by an increase in test set size, since a design independent test set will in general be larger than a design dependent one. In this paper, we show how to tailor a universal test set to a specific design in order to reduce its size maximally without losing test quality. Experimental results demonstrate that the resulting delay test sets are very compact, and large savings in test set size of up to 96.71% can be achieved compared to the universal test set.","PeriodicalId":215252,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth Asian Test Symposium (ATS'96)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128698802","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}
