Soft error due to ionizing radiation is emerging as a major concern for future technologies. The measurement unit for failures due to soft errors is called Failure-In-Time (FIT) t...
During pseudorandom testing, a significant amount of energy and test application time is wasted for generating and for applying “useless” test vectors that do not contribute t...

Real defects (e.g. stuck-at or bridging faults) in the VLSI circuits cause intermediate voltages and can not be modeled as ideal shorts. In this paper we first show that the trad...
The integrated circuits design flow is rapidly moving towards higher description levels. However, test-related activities are lacking behind this trend, mainly since effective faul...
The testability of basic DSP datapath structures using pseudorandom built-in self-test techniques is examined. The addition of variance mismatched signals is identified as a testi...
