1 This paper addresses the problem of testing path delay faults in a microprocessor using instructions. It is observed that a structurally testable path (i.e., a path testable thro...
- Under manufacturing process variation, a path through a fault site is called longest for delay test if there exists a process condition under which the path has the maximum delay...

This paper presents a pseudo-functional BIST scheme that attempts to minimize the over-testing problem of logic BIST for delay and crosstalk-induced failures. The over-testing pro...
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...
This paper addresses the run-time diagnosis of delay faults in functional units of microprocessors. Despite the popularity of the stuck-at fault model, it is no longer the only re...
