On the design of fast, easily testable ALU's
نویسندگان
چکیده
A design methodology for implementing fast, easily testable arithmetic-logic units (ALU’s) is presented. Here, we describe a set of fast adder designs, which are testable with a test set that has either ( ) complexity (Lin-testable) or (1) complexity (C-testable), where is the input operand size of the ALU. The various levels of testability are achieved by exploiting some inherent properties of carry-lookahead addition. The Lintestable and C-testable ALU designs require only one extra input, regardless of the size of the ALU. The area overhead for a high-speed 64-bit Lintestable ALU is only 0.5%.

متن کاملEasily Testable Array Multiplier Design Using Vhdl
Presents the design of variable array multipliers using VHDL. Multipliers of various operand sizes for different target processes can be implemented using the proposed VHDL based approach. The multipliers will be testable with a constant number of test vectors irrespective of the operand word lengths. A fast test pattern generator is also developed for simulation of the multiplier designs and s...
