Digital Systems Testing and Testable Design

TLDR
The new edition of Breuer-Friedman's Diagnosis and Reliable Design ofDigital Systems offers comprehensive and state-ofthe-art treatment of both testing and testable design.
Abstract
For many years, Breuer-Friedman's Diagnosis and Reliable Design ofDigital Systems was the most widely used textbook in digital system testing and testable design. Now, Computer Science Press makes available a new and greativ expanded edition. Incorporating a significant amount of new material related to recently developed technologies, the new edition offers comprehensive and state-ofthe-art treatment of both testing and testable design.

Method and apparatus for diagnosing failures in an integrated circuit using design-for-debug (dfd) techniques

TL;DR: In this article, a method and apparatus for inserting design-for-debug (DFD) circuitries in an integrated circuit to debug or diagnose DFT modules, including scan cores, memory BIST (built-in self-test) cores, logic BIST cores, and functional cores, is presented.

Reconfigurable architecture for autonomous self-repair

TL;DR: This work introduces an effective, low-cost repair solution in which originally unused blocks and routing resources replace faulty parts, and the proposed reconfiguration hardware allows autonomous repair, that is, the system does not require external intervention for recovery.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Multi-level logic optimization by implication analysis

TL;DR: It is shown that Recursive Learning can derive “good” Boolean divisors justifying the effort to attempt a Boolean division, and for 9 out of 10 ISCAS-85 benchmark circuits, the tool HANNIBAL obtains smaller circuits than the well-known synthesis system SIS.

Robust search algorithms for test pattern generation

TL;DR: This paper describes an algorithm for ATPG that is robust and still very efficient and reduces heuristic knowledge to a minimum and relies on an optimized search algorithm for effectively pruning the search space.

VirtualScan: a new compressed scan technology for test cost reduction

TL;DR: The VirtualScan technology has achieved successful tape-outs of industrial chips and has been proven to be an efficient and easy-to-implement solution for scan test cost reduction.
