A possible method to design a Borden code checker is to map the Borden code words to words of an AN arithmetic code and to check the obtained words with an appropriate AN code checker. For t equiv 2 we show how this method can be modified such that a Borden code checker achieves the self-testing property under very weak conditions. It is only required that no checker input line gets a constant signal and that the Borden code words occur in a random order, making the proposed checkers very suitable for use as embedded checkers
