Fault Dictionary Size Reduction through Test Response Superposition
نویسندگان
چکیده
The exceedingly large size of fault dictionaries constitutes a fundamental obstacle to their usage. We outline a new method to reduce significantly the size of fault dictionaries. The proposed method partitions the test set and a combined signature is stored for each partition. The new approach aims to provide high diagnostic resolution with a small number of combined signatures. The experimental results show a considerable decrease in the storage requirement of fault dictionaries.

Diagnostic Test Set Minimization and Full-Response Fault Dictionary
We minimize a given test set without loss of diagnostic resolution in full-response fault dictionary. An integer linear program (ILP), formulated from fault simulation data, provides ultimate reduction of test vectors while preserving fault coverage and pairwise distinguishability of faults. The complexity of the ILP is made manageable by two innovations. First, we define a generalized independ...
متن کاملA Fault Dictionary-Based Fault Diagnosis Approach for CMOS Analog Integrated Circuits
In this paper, we propose a simulation-before-test (SBT) fault diagnosis methodology based on the use of a fault dictionary approach. This technique allows the detection and localization of the most likely defects of open-circuit type occurring in Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor (CMOS) analog integrated circuits (ICs) interconnects. The fault dictionary is built by simulating the most l...
متن کاملAnalog system-level fault diagnosis based on a symbolic method in the frequency domain
Concurrently, a symbolic approach for analog system-level fault diagnosis and a systematic approach to maximize the fault location capability are proposed. This unified approach is realized as a result of combining the simulation before test (SBT) fault dictionary diagnosis method with a symbolic approach. The traditional SBT fault dictionary method is often costly and inefficient because of a ...
متن کاملCompaction of Diagnostic Test Set for a Full-Response Dictionary
We optimize the diagnostic data from a fullresponse fault dictionary of a given test set. Compaction is done without loss of diagnostic resolution of a test set. We give an integer linear program (ILP) formulation using fault diagnostic table. The complexity of the ILP is made manageable by two innovations. First, we define a generalized independence relation between pairs of faults to reduce t...
متن کاملBuilt-in Self-test Preparation in Fpgas
This paper addresses the problem of Test Effectiveness (TE) evaluation of a FPGA BIST solution, through Hardware Fault Simulation (HFS). A novel HFS technique is proposed, that efficiently, using partial reconfiguration, ascertain (or not) the BIST. The proposed methodology can be particularly useful for signature fault dictionary building and for applications in which multiple fault injection ...
