Increasing Robustness of SAT-based Delay Test Generation Using Efficient Dynamic Learning Techniques
13 years 2 months ago
Due to the increased speed in modern designs, testing for delay faults has become an important issue in the postproduction test of manufactured chips. A high fault coverage is nee...
