The combination of higher quality requirements and sensitivity of high performance circuits to delay defects has led to an increasing emphasis on delay testing of VLSI circuits. A...
Due to the rapidly growing speed and the decreasing size of gates in modern chips, the probability of faults caused by the production process grows. Already small variations lead ...
Effective testing of safety-critical real-time embedded software is difficult and expensive. Many companies are hesitant about the cost of formalized criteria-based testing and a...
A new technique for synthesizing totally symmetric Boolean functions is presented that achieves complete robust path delay fault testability. We apply BDDs for the synthesis of sy...
When testing delay faults on critical paths, conventional structural test patterns may be applied in functionally-unreachable states, leading to over-testing or under-testing of t...
