چکیده

This paper presents a didactic simulator for stuck-at (sa) faults on logic circuits. The tool has a set of features that helps to understand the concepts of single and multiple stuck-at faults, being these faults testable or not, and how to generate test vectors in order to test the detectable fault subset. An interface was developed to allow the edition of a circuit, the injection of faults and the fault simulation. The tool performs two simulations concurrently, one for the original circuit and another for the faulty circuit considering the injected faults. When the two simulations differ, for a given input vector, the tool shows the error (detection of the fault) graphically.

Cofs { a Cell Oriented Fault Simulator

Currently, in most fault simulators physical defects have to be modeled as stuck-at faults in networks of primitive gates such as AND, NAND, etc. On the other hand, the inadequacy of the stuck-at fault model for today's technologies has been pointed out by many authors. In this paper, a compiler driven fault simulator is presented which handles arbitrary combinational faults. The set of basic c...

An Efficient Diagnosis Algorithm for Multiple Stuck-at Faults

With the increasing complexity of VLSI devices, more complex faults have appeared. Many methods for diagnosing the single stuck-at fault have been studied. Often multiple defects on a failing chip better reflect the reality. So, we propose an efficient diagnosis algorithm for multiple stuck-at faults. By using vectorwise intersections as an important metric of diagnosis, the proposed algorithm ...

Efficient Concurrent Simulation of Large Networks Using Various Fault Models

An improved fault simulation environment is described in this paper, and details of its faulting capability are presented and tested. The versatility of our fault simulator in handling different fault models by adding new activity functions to our modeling structure such as n-terminal bridge faults is shown. We use our TUFTsim simulator, which is based on concurrent simulation algorithms to eff...

False-Path Removal Using Delay Fault Simulation

Some false paths are caused by redundant stuck-at faults. Removal of those stuck-at faults automatically eliminates such false paths f r o m the circuit. However, there are other false paths that are not associated with any redundant stuck-at fault. All links of such a false path are shared with other testable paths. W e focus o n the elimination of this type of false paths. W e use a nonenumer...

fQuantum : A Quantum Computing Fault Simulator

We like to introduce fQuantum, a Quantum Computing Fault Simulator and new quantum computing fault model based on Hadamard, PauliX, PauliY and PauliZ gates, and the traditional stuckat-1 SA1 and stuck-at-0 SA0 faults. We had close to 100% fault coverage on most circuits. The problem with lower coverage comes from function gates, which we will deal with, in future versions of this paper. Keyword...
