The essential question which must be answered about any fault model is, \"If all faults in this model are detected, is the design guaranteed to be correct?\" In this paper we present a method to examine the degree to which an arbitrary fault model can ensure the detection of all design errors. The method involves comparing fault coverage to error coverage as defined by a practical design error model which we describe. We have employed our method to perform a limited analysis of the statement and branch coverage fault models.","PeriodicalId":344813,"journal":{"name":"Eighth IEEE International High-Level Design Validation and Test Workshop","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126440550","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}

Some CAD vendors have promoted assertion-based verification (ABV) as one of the first commercial design-for-verification techniques. In order to handle complex design, this methodology has to be complemented with tools that automatically generate vectors or counterexamples that violate/verify proposed assertions or constraints. This paper presents an assertion checking technique for behavioral models that combines a non-linear solver and state exploration techniques and avoids expanding behavior into logic equations. The kernel of the technique is a modified interval analysis (MODIA) that avoids most of the problems of classical interval analysis (IA) and improves reuse during vector generation. The results show that the proposed technique is able to handle very efficiently data-dominated designs, which research and commercial assertion/property checkers are unable or need more CPU effort to verify.","PeriodicalId":344813,"journal":{"name":"Eighth IEEE International High-Level Design Validation and Test Workshop","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115548401","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 overcome the daunting cost and increasing performance hindrance of high-speed external testers, Software-Based. Self-Test (SBST) is proposed as a high-quality. low-cost at-speed testing solution for AC failures in programmable processors and System-on-Chips (SoC). SBST utilizes low-cost testers, applies tests and captures test responses in the natural operational environment. Hence SBST avoids artificial testing environment and external tester induced inaccuracies. Different from testing for stuck-at faults, testing for crosstalk faults requires a sequence of test vectors delivered at the operational speed. SBST applies tests in functional mode using instructions. Different instructions impose different controllability and observability constraints on a module-under-test (MUT). The complexity of searching for an appropriate sequence of instructions and operands becomes prohibitively high. In this paper, we propose a novel methodology to conquer the complexity challenge by efficiently combining structural test generation technique with instruction-level constraints. MUT in several time frames is automatically flattened and augmented with Super Virtual Constraint Circuits (SuperVCCs), which guide an automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) tool to select. appropriate test instructions and operands. The proposed methodology enables automatic test-program generation and high-fidelity test solution:for AC failures. Experimental results are shown on a commercial embedded processor (Xtensa/sup /spl trade// from Tensilica Inc).","PeriodicalId":344813,"journal":{"name":"Eighth IEEE International High-Level Design Validation and Test Workshop","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132302843","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}

Fault lists should be accurately created in order to avoid waste of time during ATPG and fault simulation. However, automatic fault injection tools can insert redundant faults which are not symptoms of design errors. Such redundant faults should be removed from the fault list before starting the verification session. This paper proposes an automatic strategy for high-level faults injection, which removes redundant bit coverage faults. An efficient implementation of a bit coverage saboteur is proposed, which allows one to use synthesis for redundant faults removal. Experimental results highlight the effectiveness of the methodology. By using the proposed injection strategy, functional APTG time is reduced and fault coverage is increased.","PeriodicalId":344813,"journal":{"name":"Eighth IEEE International High-Level Design Validation and Test Workshop","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114873559","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}
