However, at present, there is no way of accurately predicting DL in the IC design environment, since no accurate fault models are used. This paper presents a formalism and a method for DL estimation, based on a realistic fault model close to physical defects. A definition of weighted fault coverage is introduced, and an extension of Williams formula to handle non-equiprobable faults is proposed. Results of applying this method to a set of real IC design examples confirm the usefulness of this approach.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":319218,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1992 IEEE International Workshop on Defect and Fault Tolerance in VLSI Systems","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116651171","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}

To effectively tolerate operation time faults in the systems, algorithm-based fault tolerance designs have been developed. Extended rearranged Hamming checksum scheme is proposed as an algorithm-based fault tolerance design. It is based on the rearranged Hamming checksum code with newly introduced negative elements in the checksum matrix. The overflow and round-off error probability of the scheme are greatly reduced compared to earlier designs, while both time latency and hardware overheads are small. Two important matrix computations are selected to show how the scheme works. Performance of the proposed design is evaluated and compared with those of existing schemes through computer simulation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":319218,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings 1992 IEEE International Workshop on Defect and Fault Tolerance in VLSI Systems","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128950680","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}
