Test vectors are generated on chip in BICST to detect the stuck-on and bridging faults as well as stuck-at faults in a CMOS circuit. The test set generated by pseudo-exhaustive testing method can detect stuck-on and bridging faults that cause abnormal large current flow in the circuit, which will be caught by the built-in current sensors. Partitioning is done for pseudo-exhaustive testing and to obtain high resolution in current measuring. The overall structure of the BICST system is also presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":434977,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers. 1992 IEEE VLSI Test Symposium","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132839852","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 spite of its importance, it is more difficult to find complete test pattern sets for delay faults than for stuck-at faults. It thus takes much time to generate high quality test pattern sets. To acquire high quality test pattern sets for delay faults as fast as possible, the authors take an approach that executes a test pattern generation process for delay faults on the very high speed logic simulation processor 'SP'. As a result, to apply ISCAS'89 benchmark circuits, the authors achieved a fault coverage rate of 85% in two minutes testing for a circuit which has about 1000 gates. They confirmed that this system is effective as a pre-processing method to exclude many faults at very highspeed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":434977,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers. 1992 IEEE VLSI Test Symposium","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130694665","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}
