TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that extremely high single-stuck fault coverage is necessary for high quality products and that the dependence of quality on test coverage is linear rather than exponential.
Abstract: It is shown that extremely high single-stuck fault coverage is necessary for high-quality products. Even 100% single-stuck fault coverage may not guarantee adequate quality. Results are presented that extend previous work and show that for high required IC quality, process yield has a negligible effect on required test thoroughness. The extensions consist of: removing the assumption of a one-to-one correspondence between chip defects and single-stuck faults; demonstrating that for high quality levels the dependence of quality on test coverage is linear rather than exponential and that for high yields, the dependence of quality on yield is also linear; and showing that the yield used in the calculations should be functional rather than die yield. The theoretical results are compared with data obtained from measurements at a production IC facility. >

18 Oct 2000TL;DR: A failure capture circuit for use in a failure processing circuit to identify failure location information from a memory-under-test (MUT) is disclosed in this article, which includes failure detection circuitry comprising a plurality of channels and adapted for coupling to the MUT.
Abstract: A failure capture circuit for use in a failure processing circuit to identify failure location information from a memory-under-test (MUT) is disclosed. The failure capture circuit includes failure detection circuitry comprising a plurality of channels and adapted for coupling to the MUT. The failure detection circuitry is operative to apply test signals to the MUT and process output signals therefrom into failure information. A failure memory circuit and a high speed link are provided to minimize test time. The high-speed link couples the failure memory circuit to the failure detection circuitry to provide serial data transfer capability therebetween.

TL;DR: A hybrid control system, integrating principal and compensation controllers, is developed for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) uncertain nonlinear systems and uses a recurrent cerebellar model articulation controller (RCMAC) as an uncertainty observer.
Abstract: A hybrid control system, integrating principal and compensation controllers, is developed for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) uncertain nonlinear systems. This hybrid control system is based on sliding-mode technique and uses a recurrent cerebellar model articulation controller (RCMAC) as an uncertainty observer. The principal controller containing an RCMAC uncertainty observer is the main controller, and the compensation controller is a compensator for the approximation error of the system uncertainty. In addition, in order to relax the requirement of approximation error bound, an estimation law is derived to estimate the error bound. The Taylor linearization technique is employed to increase the learning ability of RCMAC and the adaptive laws of the control system are derived based on Lyapunov stability theorem and Barbalat's lemma so that the asymptotical stability of the system can be guaranteed. Finally, the proposed design method is applied to control a biped robot. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme for the MIMO uncertain nonlinear system

TL;DR: Voice recognition is preferably used to determine whether the response received from the telecommunication system is the expected response, particularly when a script is executed.
Abstract: Connection is made directly or via a switched telephone network between a tester and a telecommunication system to be tested. User data, such as voice signals, and signalling data, such as DTMF signals are generated by the tester to cause the telecommunication system to respond. The user and signalling data may be generated interactively to test the telecommunication system in real time, or by executing prerecorded scripts. When the tester is used interactively, the representations of the signals transmitted to and from the tester are recorded in at least one script file. Voice recognition is preferably used to determine whether the response received from the telecommunication system is the expected response, particularly when a script is executed. The vocabulary used for voice recognition may be created by repeatedly executing a script file (recorded during interactive operation of the tester or created manually) which causes the telecommunication system to generate the desired prompt(s) and message(s). Alternatively, the vocabulary may be obtained in other ways, such as by reproducing voice signals at the telecommunication system.

15 May 1978TL;DR: In this article, two time varying signals are transmitted in opposite directions over transmission means between signal generator means and a signal receiver, and the generator means includes means for causing the signals to vary with time in a manner selected to cause the signal combination to reach the trigger state at a time dependent upon the length of the transmission means but independent of the distance between the generator and receiver.
Abstract: Two time varying signals are transmitted in opposite directions over transmission means between signal generator means and a signal receiver. The signal receiver includes means for sensing when the combination of signals arriving at the receiver reaches a predetermined trigger state, and the generator means includes means for causing the signals to vary with time in a manner selected to cause the signal combination to reach the trigger state at a time dependent upon the length of the transmission means but independent of the distance between the generator and receiver.
