چکیده
The Boolean differential calculus is used as a mathematical tool to perform a variable transformation which allows to obtain a synchronous model for any asynchronous network. This synchronous model is used to derive behavioural and structural test procedures for asynchronous networks.

Low Power March Memory Test Algorithm for Static Random Access Memories (TECHNICAL NOTE)
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 ...
متن کاملSimulation Based Test Generation for Crosstalk Delay Faults in Asynchronous Sequential Circuits
A number of efforts have been recently devoted to fault modeling, fault simulation and test generation for asynchronous circuits (Shi and Makris 2004). Simulation based approach for testing gate delay faults in asynchronous sequential circuits was proposed by Sur-Kolay et al (2000). Shi and Makris (2006) have proposed a test method for path delay faults based on a design for test strategy. In s...
متن کاملTest Power Reduction by Simultaneous Don’t Care Filling and Ordering of Test Patterns Considering Pattern Dependency
Estimating and minimizing the maximum power dissipation during testing is an important task in VLSI circuit realization since the power value affects the reliability of the circuits. Therefore during testing a methodology should be adopted to minimize power consumption. Test patterns generated with –D 1 option of ATALANTA contains don’t care bits (x bits). By suitable filling of don’t cares can...
متن کاملDesigning Asynchronous Sequential Circuits for Random Pattern Testability
A resurgence of interest in asynchronous VLSI circuits is occurring because of their potential for low power consumption, design flexibility and the absence of the clock skew problem. In this paper, an approach to the design of asynchronous sequential circuits for random pattern testability based on the micropipeline design style is described. The test procedure for such asynchronous sequential...
متن کاملDetecting Fabrication Faults in C-elements
C-elements are used widely in asynchronous VLSI circuits. Fabrication faults in some C-elements can be undetectable by logic testing. Testable designs of static CMOS Celements are given in this paper which provide for the detection of single line stuck-at and stuck-open faults. We show that driving the feedback transistors in the proposed testable static C-element transforms its sequential func...
