A Fault Primitive Based Analysis of Linked Faults in RAMs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Linked faults are very important for memory testing because they reduce the fault coverage of the tests. Their analysis has proven to be a source for new memory tests, characterized by an increased fault coverage for a given test time. This paper presents an analysis of linked faults, based on the concept of fault primitives, such that the whole space of linked faults is investigated, accounted for and validated. The paper also introduces a systematic way to develop tests for such faults.

RAM Testing Algorithms for Detection Multiple Linked Faults
for testing linked faults. We prove that new algorithms have higher fault coverage than existing march tests for linked multiple faults. Many fault models for RAMs and tests for faults of these models are available. In most cases these tests allow for the detection of single faults only. This paper contains fault coverage analysis of march tests which detect multiple faults. It is shown there a...
متن کاملMarch SS: A Test for All Static Simple RAM Faults
This paper presents all simple (i.e., not linked) static fault models that have been shown to exist for Random Access Memories (RAMs), and shows that none of the current industrial march tests has the capability to detect all these faults. It therefore introduces a new test (March SS), with a test length of 22n, that detects all realistic simple static faults in RAMs.
متن کاملA Fault Primitive Based Analysis of Dynamic Memory Faults
The new memory technologies and processes are introducing defects that cause faults that were unknown previously. One of the new observed faults in real designs are called dynamic faults. The paper gives a mathematical analysis of such a fault class based on the fault primitive concept. The dynamic fault space will be then established; within this space dynamic functional fault models can be st...
متن کاملMarch Test for Static 3-Coupling Faults in Random-Access Memories
− A march test of length 30n for detecting static 3-coupling faults in n × 1 random-access memories (RAMs) is presented. To reduce the length of the test, only the coupling faults between physically adjacent memory cells have been considered. The test assumes that the storage cells are arranged in a rectangular grid and that the mapping from logical addresses to physical cell locations is known...
متن کاملDetection of fault segments based on P–T dihedra analysis along the North Tabriz fault, NW Iran
Detection of fault segments is an essential step for tracking main transverse faults. General observations from field studies as well as attitude measurements can give an overall understanding of the lengths of the segments, but these are not always sufficient to accurately identify and characterize them. In this study, we analyze P–T dihedra variations based on their eigenvalues to detect faul...
