Proceedings ArticleDOI
Sequential logic minimization based on functional testability
TL;DR: It is shown that by comparing the gate-level implementation of a circuit with its functional description, it is possible to produce fully testable circuits by spending a fraction of the time usually necessary for applying standard redundancies removal algorithms working at the gate level.
Journal ArticleDOI
FAST: An RTL Fault Simulation Framework based on RTL-to-TLM Abstraction
TL;DR: FAST abstracts RTL models injected with any RTL fault model into equivalent injected TLM models thus allowing a very fast fault simulation at TLM level, and shows how the generated TLM test patterns can be automatically synthesized into RTL test patterns by exploiting the structural information of the RTL model extracted during the abstraction process.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Application of a testing framework to VHDL descriptions at different abstraction levels
TL;DR: A global toolset architecture for testability analysis and test pattern generation is presented, with VHDL chosen as the referring description language in all phases, from behavioral specifications, through RTL descriptions, down to gate level.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Functional fault coverage: the chamber of secrets or an accurate estimation of gate-level coverage?
TL;DR: An accurate analysis of the correlation between the high-level bit coverage fault model and the gate-level stuck-at fault model is presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Implicit test sequences compaction for decreasing test application cost
TL;DR: Preliminary results show that the use of the presented technique can sensibly reduce the amount of test patterns which mast be stored and applied.
