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.

Sequential circuit fault simulation using logic emulation

TL;DR: A fast fault simulation approach based on ordinary logic emulation that reduces the number of faults actually emulated by screening off faults not activated or with short propagation distances before emulation, and by collapsing nonstem faults into their equivalent stem faults.

An efficient test relaxation technique for combinational & full-scan sequential circuits

TL;DR: A novel and efficient test relaxation technique for combinational and full-scan sequential circuits is proposed that is faster than the brute-force test relaxation method by several orders of magnitude.

Design for hierarchical testability of RTL circuits obtained by behavioral synthesis

TL;DR: Techniques that add minimal test hardware to a given register-transfer level (RTL) circuit obtained by behavioral synthesis in order to ensure that the embedded elements in the circuit are hierarchically testable are presented.

A design diversity metric and analysis of redundant systems

TL;DR: This paper presents a metric to quantify diversity among several designs and illustrates its effectiveness using several examples and applications of this metric in analyzing reliability and availability of diverse redundant systems, and deriving simple relationships between diversity, system failure rate, and mission time are demonstrated.

An efficient and effective methodology on the multiple fault diagnosis

TL;DR: This paper analyzes failing circuits and proposes a multiple-fault diagnosis approach that has been validated experimentally and has proved to be highly efficient and effective in diagnosing multiple faults.
