Feedback - based Coverage Directed Test

چکیده
Although there are quite a few approaches to Coverage Directed test Generation aided by Machine Learning which have been applied successfully to small and medium size digital designs, it is not clear how they would scale on more elaborate industrial-level designs. This paper evaluates one of these techniques, called MicroGP, on a fully fledged industrial design. The results indicate relative success evidenced by a good level of code coverage achieved with reasonably compact tests when compared to traditional test generation approaches. However, there is scope for improvement especially with respect to the diversity of the tests evolved.

متن کاملCoverage-directed Assignment Approach to Bist
We present a novel test-per-clock BIST method for combinational or full-scan circuits. Our task is to design a combinational circuit, namely the output decoder, transforming the pseudorandom LFSR code words into the required test patterns pre-generated by some ATPG tool. The process is based on finding the coverage of the ones in the test vectors and the subsequent generation of implicants that...

متن کاملAn algorithmic approach to optimizing fault coverage for BIST logic synthesis
Most approaches to the synthesis of built-in self test (BIST) circuitry use a manual choose-and-evaluate approach, where a particular BIST generator is chosen and then evaluated by faultsimulating the design with the vectors that the chosen generator generates. We develop an algorithmic synthesis-during-test approach in this paper, wherein the tasks of synthesizing the BIST logic and directed t...
متن کاملOn Using Machine Learning for Logic BIST
This paper presents a new approach for designing test sequences to be generated on–chip. The proposed technique is based on machine learning, and provides a way to generate efficient patterns to be used during BIST test pattern generation. The main idea is that test patterns detecting random pattern resistant faults are not embedded in a pseudo–random sequence as in existing techniques, but rat...
