March SL: A Test For All Static Linked Memory Faults
نویسندگان
چکیده
The analysis of linked faults has proven to be a source for new memory tests, characterized by an increased fault coverage. The paper gives a set of five new tests to target all possible linked faults. The tests are merged into a single test, March SL, detecting all faults in the linked fault space. The preliminary test results of an experiment done at Intel will be reported; they show that March SL scores high and detects some unique faults.

Politecnico di Torino Porto Institutional Repository [ Proceeding ] A 22 n March Test for Realistic Static Linked Faults in SRAMs
Linked Faults are considered an interesting class of memory faults. Their capability of influencing the behavior of other faults causes the hiding of the fault effect and makes test algorithm design a very complex task. Although several March Tests have been developed for the wide memory faults spread, a few of them are able to detect linked faults. In the present paper March AB, a March Test t...
متن کاملRealistic Static Linked Faults and Dynamic Faults in SRAMs
Memory testing commonly faces two issues: the characterization of detailed and realistic fault models, and the definition of time-efficient test algorithms able to detect them. Among the different types of algorithms proposed for testing Static Random Access Memories (SRAMs), march tests have proven to be faster, simpler and regularly structured. The continuous evolution of the memory technolog...
متن کاملMarch SS: A Test for All Static Simple RAM Faults
This paper presents all simple (i.e., not linked) static fault models that have been shown to exist for Random Access Memories (RAMs), and shows that none of the current industrial march tests has the capability to detect all these faults. It therefore introduces a new test (March SS), with a test length of 22n, that detects all realistic simple static faults in RAMs.

متن کاملMarch Test for Static 3-Coupling Faults in Random-Access Memories
− A march test of length 30n for detecting static 3-coupling faults in n × 1 random-access memories (RAMs) is presented. To reduce the length of the test, only the coupling faults between physically adjacent memory cells have been considered. The test assumes that the storage cells are arranged in a rectangular grid and that the mapping from logical addresses to physical cell locations is known...
