چکیده
Given a set of memory array faults the problem of computing an optimal march test that detects all speci-ed memory array faults is addressed. In this paper, we propose a novel approach in which every memory array fault is modeled by a set of primitive memory faults. A primitive march test is deened for each primitive memory fault. We show that march tests that detect the speci-ed memory array faults are composed of primitive march tests. A method to compute the optimal march tests for the speciied memory array faults is described. A set of examples to illustrate the approach is presented.

Given a set of memory array faults the problem of computing a compact March test that detects all specified memory array faults is addressed. In this paper, we propose a novel approach in which every memory array fault is modeled by a set of primitive memory faults. A primitive March test is defined for each primitive memory fault. We show that March tests that detect the specified memory array...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of Diagnostic March Tests
A new approach to automatically generating diagnostic memory tests of linear order (O(N)) is presented. The resulting March tests provide complete detection and distinguishing of all single-cell and two-cell fault models. The approach is based on state transition graph modelling, decomposition of functional memory faults into basic fault effects, and output tracing. For each of the targeted bas...

Memories are most important building blocks in many digital systems. As the Integrated Circuits requirements are growing, the test circuitry must grow as well. There is a need for more efficient test techniques with low power and high speed. Many Memory Built in Self-Test techniques have been proposed to test memories. Compared with combinational and sequential circuits memory testing utilizes ...
