Column-Matching Based BIST Design Method
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method of test-per-clock BIST design for combinational circuits is proposed. The fundamental problem of matching the PRPG outputs with the required test patterns is solved as a general design problem in the field of combinational logic. A test set generated by an ATPG is compared with the PRPG generated sequence. The solution is based on a novel search algorithm, which identifies the best matches between the pairs of columns of the two sets.

Mixed-mode Bist Based on Column Matching
A test-per-clock BIST method for combinational or full-scan circuits is proposed. The method is based on a design of a combinational block the decoder, transforming pseudo-random LFSR code words into deterministic test patterns. A Column-Matching algorithm to design the decoder is proposed. The Column-Matching method modified to support a mixed-mode BIST is proposed as well. Here the BIST is di...

A scalable built-in self-test (BIST) equipment design method for combinational or full-scan circuits based on a design of a test pattern generator producing vectors detecting 100% of stuck-at faults is proposed in this paper. Basic principles of the proposed BIST design method are similar to well-known and commonly used methods like bit-fixing, bit-flipping, etc. We introduce a new TPG design a...
متن کاملInfluence of the Test Lengths on Area Overhead in Mixed-Mode BIST
In this paper we present a discussion on choosing the test lengths in our mixed-mode BIST technique. The BIST design method is based on the column-matching algorithm proposed before. The mixedmode strategy divides the test sequence into two disjoint phases: first the pseudo-random phase detects the easy-todetect faults, and the subsequent deterministic phase generates test vectors needed to ful...
