In this paper, we propose a randomization based technique to verify whether a manufactured chip conforms to its design or is infected by any trojan circuit. A trojan circuit can be...
A central problem in built-in self test (BIST) is how to efficiently generate a small set of test vectors that detect all targeted faults. We propose a novel solution that uses l...
This paper presents a new test response compaction technique with any number of unknown logic values (X’s) in the test response bits. The technique leverages an X-tolerant respo...
This paper presents a swarm intelligence based approach to optimally partition combinational CMOS circuits for pseudoexhaustive testing. The partitioning algorithm ensures reducti...

In this paper, a novel test point insertion methodology is presented for RTL designs that aims to reduce the data volume of scan-based transition delay tests. Test points are iden...
