In that sense, this book is the best x DELAY FAULT TESTING FOR VLSI CIRCUITS available guide for an engineer designing or testing VLSI systems. Tech niques for path delay testing and for use of slower test equipment to test high-speed circuits are of particular interest.

Provides a comprehensive presentation of the research results and technological developments enabling understanding, qualifying and mitigating the soft errors effect in advanced electronics, including the fundamental physical mechanisms of radiation induced soft errors, the various steps that lead to a system failure, and more.

Testing of a system does not follow directly from the testing of its parts, and a system built with testable parts can sometimes be impossible to test. Even if all digital chips are compliant with the standard, the testability of a mixed-signal system cannot be guaranteed.

Talks about test resource partitioning and optimization techniques for plug-and-play system-on-a-chip (SOC) test automation. This book aims to position test resource partitioning in the context of SOC test automation. It presents various techniques for the partitioning and optimization of the three major SOC test resources.

This text focuses on techniques for minimizing power dissipation during test application at logic and register-transfer levels of abstraction of the VLSI design flow. It surveys existing techniques and presents several test automation techniques for reducing power in scan-based sequential circuits and BIST data paths.

Features: -Fault primitive based analysis of memory faults, -A complete framework of and classification memory faults, -A systematic way to develop optimal and high quality memory test algorithms, -A systematic way to develop test patterns for any multi-port SRAM, -Challenges and trends in embedded memory testing.

Formal Equivalence Checking and Design Debugging covers two major topics in design verification: logic equivalence checking and design debugging.

This increase in the use of IDDQ testing should be of interest to three groups of individuals associated with the IC business: Product Managers and Test Engineers, CAD Tool Vendors and Circuit Designers.

Given such a high level of investment, it is critical for IC manufacturers to reduce manufacturing costs and get a better return on their investment. The most obvious method of reducing the manufacturing cost per die is to improve manufacturing yield.

In many applications, the classic branch-and-bound search methods perform duplications of computations, or rely on the search decision trees which keep track of the branch-and-bound search processes.

This book presents the development and experimental validation of the structural test strategy called Oscillation-Based Test - OBT in short.

The modern electronic testing has a forty year history. Other than the computer engineering curriculum being too crowded, the major reason cited for the absence of a course on electronic testing is the lack of a suitable textbook.

Test functions (fault detection, diagnosis, error correction, repair, etc.) that are applied concurrently while the system continues its intended function are defined as on-line testing.

The monograph will be dedicated to SRAM (memory) design and test issues in nano-scaled technologies by adapting the cell design and chip design considerations to the growing process variations with associated test issues. Purpose: provide process-aware solutions for SRAM design and test challenges.

Testing SOCs is especially challenging in the absence of standardized test structures, test automation tools, and test protocols. SOC (System-on-a-Chip) Testing for Plug and Play Test Automation is an edited work containing thirteen contributions that address various aspects of SOC testing.

This book presents the basis for reusing the test vector generation and simulation for the purpose of implementation verification, to result in a significant timesaving. It brings the results in the direction of merging manufacturing test vector generation and verification.

Design for AT-Speed Test, Diagnosis and Measurement is the first book to offer practical and proven design-for-testability (DFT) solutions to chip and system design engineers, test engineers and product managers at the silicon level as well as at the board and systems levels.

The Core Test Wrapper Handbook: Rationale and Application of IEEE Std. This book focuses on practical design considerations inherent to the application of IEEE Std. The authors provide background information about some of the choices and decisions made throughout the design of IEEE Std.

The 2nd edition of defect oriented testing has been extensively updated. New chapters on Functional, Parametric Defect Models and Inductive fault Analysis and Yield Engineering have been added to provide a link between defect sources and yield.

This book presents the development and experimental validation of the structural test strategy called Oscillation-Based Test - OBT in short.

Formal Equivalence Checking and Design Debugging covers two major topics in design verification: logic equivalence checking and design debugging.

A recent technological advance is the art of designing circuits to test themselves, referred to as a Built-In Self-Test. This book is written from a designer's perspective and describes the major BIST approaches that have been proposed and implemented, along with their advantages and limitations.

Model based testing is the most powerful technique for testing hardware and software systems. The relevant fault models for nanoscaled CMOS technology are introduced, and their implications on fault simulation, automatic test pattern generation, fault diagnosis, memory testing and power aware testing are discussed.

Enables the reader to test an analog circuit that is implemented either in bipolar or MOS technology. Examines the testing and fault diagnosis of analog and analog part of mixed signal circuits.

Reasoning in Boolean Networks provides a detailed treatment of recent research advances in algorithmic techniques for logic synthesis, test generation and formal verification of digital circuits.
