The FIBS augments the boundary scan design to facilitate the injection of faults to the input and output pins of a VLSI chip. In addition to the capabilities of a conventional boundary scan design, the FIBS can interpret the test vector contained in the boundary scan cells as markers for fault-injected pins during fault injection. The compatibility of the FIBS with the boundary scan also promises relatively small overhead.","PeriodicalId":309921,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings., International Test Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128444093","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}
