Mixed analog and digital mode simulators have been available for accurate transient fault simulation. However , they are not fast enough to simulate a large number of transient faults on a relatively large circuit in a reasonable amount of time. In this paper, we describe a gate-level transient fault simulation environment which has been developed based on realistic fault models. The simulation...

Fault simulation for sequential circuits numbers among the highly compute-intensive tasks in the integrated circuit design process. In the quest for rapid design turn-around, parallelization has been proposed to speed fault simulation. In this paper, we introduce ProperPROOFS, a parallel extension of the PROOFS fault simulation package. ProperPROOFS exploits parallelism based on fault partition...

Fault simulation is a powerful yet not well understood tool for generating test vectors. This tutorial describes the principles of fault simulation, fault modeling techniques and the economic benefits of fault simulation. The section on principles of fault simulation includes serial, parallel, and concurrent fault simulation algorithms along with descriptions of digital faults, fault coverage, ...

FACTS technology has considerable applications in power systems, such as; improving the steady stateperformance, damping the power system oscillations, controlling the power flow, and etc. STATCOM is oneof the most important FACTS devices used in the parallel compensation, enhancing transient stability andetc. Since three phase fault is widespread in power systems, in this paper STATCOM is used...

Winding function method (WFM) provides a detailed and rather simple analytical modeling and simulation technique for analyzing performance of faulty squirrel-cage induction motors (SCIMs). Such analysis is mainly applicable for designing on-line fault diagnosis techniques. In this paper, WFM is extended to include variable degree of magnetic saturation by applying an appropriate air gap functio...

Vehicle driveline system and its working accuracy play an important role in the performance of car. The purpose of this study is to provide an appropriate mechanism for investigating, identifying and determining the position and size of defects in the vehicle power transmission system. This is based on the patterns of the residual signal, obtained from a simulated model of the system. Neuro-...

Described is a method of parallel pattern fault simulation for synchronous sequential circuits that is based on parallel pattern single fault propagation for combinational circuits as described in [1]. This method of fault simulation was proposed in two independent works published in 1991 [2] and 1992 [3] that were a mere three months apart. In this paper this method shall be referred to as PAR...

Context. The main idea is the creation of vector-logical in-memory computing (VLC), which uses only read-write transactions on address memory for faults-as-addresses simulation. There no traditional logic. VLC free from processor commands and ALU organization therefore focused implementation in SoC FPGA. A method deductive matrix synthesis transportation input faults, has a quadratic computatio...
