چکیده
We present a method for testing sequential circuits using weighted random sequences. The weights are stored and a weighted random sequence generator is used to produce the required test sequences during testing rather than storing the actual test sequences themselves. The generation of required weights is based on the dynamic scan algorithm, DYNASTEE. Experimental results demonstrate new tradeoos in test application time and in tester memory requirements, while maintaining 100% fault coverage of all target faults.

متن کاملA Novel Test Pattern Generator for functional Broadside tests
In this paper an accumulator-based 3-weight test pattern generation scheme is presented. The proposed scheme copes with the inherent drawbacks of the scheme proposed more precisely. First, it does not impose any requirements about the design of the adder i.e., it can be implemented using any adder design and then it does not require any modification of the adder; and hence it does not affect th...
متن کاملDeterministic Pattern Generation for Weighted Random Pattern Testing - European Design and Test Conference, 1996. ED&TC 96. Proceedings
Weighted random pattern testing is now widely accepted QS a very economic way for external testing as well as for implementing a built-in self-test (BIST) scheme. The weights may be computed either by structural analysis or by extracting the required information from a precomputed deterministic test set. In this paper, we present a method for generating deterministic test patterns which can eas...
متن کاملDeterministic Built-in Pattern Generation for Sequential Circuits
We present a new pattern generation approach for deterministic built-in self testing (BIST) of sequential circuits. Our approach is based on precomputed test sequences, and is especially suited to sequential circuits that contain a large number of flip-flops but relatively few controllable primary inputs. Such circuits, often encountered as embedded cores and as filters for digital signal proce...
متن کاملFunctional Test Generation for Synchronous Sequential Circuits - Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems, IEEE Transactions on
We present a novel, highly efficient functional test generation methodology for synchronous sequential circuits. We generate test vectors for the growth (G) and disappearance (D) faults using a cube description of the finite state machine (FSM). Theoretical results establish that these tests guarantee a complete coverage of stuck faults in combinational and sequential circuits, synthesized thro...
