In modern SoCs, embedded memories occupy the largest part of the chip area and include an even larger amount of active devices. As memories are designed very tightly to the limits...

Embedded memories are among the most widely used cores in current system-on-chip (SOC) implementations. Memory cores usually occupy a significant portion of the chip area, and do...
This paper presents a BIST architecture for Finite State Machines that exploits Cellular Automata (CA) as pattern generators and signature analyzers. The main advantage of the pro...

We present a new pseudorandom testing algorithm for the Built-In Self-Test (BIST) of DRAM. In this algorithm, test patterns are complemented to generate state-transitions that are...
Abstract: We discuss the development of Built-In SelfTest (BIST) configurations that test all of the programmable logic and interconnect resources in the core of Xilinx 4000E, 4000...
