We propose a built-in scheme for generating all patterns of a given deterministic test set T. The scheme is based on grouping the columns of T, so that in each group of columns the number ri of unique representatives (row subvectors) as well as their product R over all such groups is kept at a minimum. The representatives of each group (segment) are then generated by a small finite state machine (FSM)...
Soft errors caused by ionizing radiation have emerged as a major concern for current generation of CMOS technologies and the trend is expected to get worse. Soft error rate (SER) measurement, expressed as number of failures encountered per billion hours of device operation, is time consuming and involves significant test cost. The cost stems from having to connect a device-under-test to a tester for...
Software-based self-test (SBST) has emerged as an effective strategy for non-concurrent on-line testing of processors integrated in embedded system applications. It offers the potential for on-line testing without any hardware overhead. However, test generation is usually based in a semi-automated approach and gate-level information is required for effective test program generation.In this paper we...
This paper describes a design flow for the circuit-level optimization of a technology. The concurrent exploration of device characteristics and library design choices leads to a more application-optimal technology. We illustrate the design flow by: 1) analyzing the impact of buffer cell design, and 2) by optimizing a 130 nm technology for low operational power.
