After write operations, BIST schemes for RAMs relying on signature analysis must compress the entire memory contents to update the reference signature. This paper introduces a new...

Existing built-in self test (BIST) strategies require the use of specialized test pattern generation hardware which introduces signicant area overhead and performance degradation...
This paper presents a novel approach to interconnect fault location for FPGAs during power-on sequence. The method is based on a concept known as fault grading which utilizes defec...

In modern superscalar processors, the complex instruction scheduler could form the critical path of the pipeline stages and limit the clock cycle time. In addition, complex schedu...
Abstract—Built-In Self-Test (BIST) is less often applied to random logic than to embedded memories due to the following reasons: Firstly, for a satisfiable fault coverage it may...
