Download or read book Test Pattern Generation using Boolean Proof Engines written by Rolf Drechsler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Test Pattern Generation using Boolean Proof Engines, we give an introduction to ATPG. The basic concept and classical ATPG algorithms are reviewed. Then, the formulation as a SAT problem is considered. As the underlying engine, modern SAT solvers and their use on circuit related problems are comprehensively discussed. Advanced techniques for SAT-based ATPG are introduced and evaluated in the context of an industrial environment. The chapters of the book cover efficient instance generation, encoding of multiple-valued logic, usage of various fault models, and detailed experiments on multi-million gate designs. The book describes the state of the art in the field, highlights research aspects, and shows directions for future work.

Book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences

Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the though that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemi nation. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 37 (thesis year 1992) a total of 12,549 thesis titles from 25 Canadian and 153 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 37 reports theses submitted in 1992, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Book Deterministic Automatic Test Pattern Generation for Built in Self Test System

Download or read book Deterministic Automatic Test Pattern Generation for Built in Self Test System written by Muhammad Nazir Mohammed Khalid and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a great growing use of electronic products in many aspects of society, it is evident that these products must perform reliably. Their reliability depends on the testing whether or not they have been manufactured properly and behave correctly. To ease testing, digital systems are commonly designed with Built-In Self Test facility. For this reason, development of test pattern for BIST based on combination of Linear Feedback Shift Register (LFSR) and deterministic ATPG (DATPG) approach could provide more solutions, such as reduce testing time, high fault coverage and low area overhead. One of the key challenges in BIST is the design of the Test Pattern Generation (TPG) that promised high fault coverage. The test pattern generation can be generated either manually or automatically. Problems related to ATPG are linked to the controllability and observability of the nodes in circuits. As far as the single stuck-at fault model is considered, efficient algorithms have been devised for combinational circuit. To illustrate that, the DATPG algorithm for digital combinational circuit using VHDL language is designed to generate the test patterns. Altera Max+plus II software is used to simulate the DATPG design to achieve the minimum test patterns for digital combinational circuit. The simulation result will be presented in the form of waveform. The results of DATPG for digital combinational circuit show that the sequence of LFSR has been reduced significantly. In BIST application, the minimum test patterns are applied to the adder/substractor (A/S) known as circuit under test (CUT). A parallel A/S is chosen as a CUT due to the simplicity of the circuit architecture. The A/S is used to verify the proposed DATPG performance. Only one basic cell of the parallel A/S is required to determine the test pattern by considering the data flow from one cell to another. Identical test data can then be applied to both A/S inputs simultaneously. By reducing the number of test pattern, the testing time to market and manufacturing time is expected to reduce leading to reduction in the product cost.

Book Evolutionary Algorithms for Embedded System Design

Download or read book Evolutionary Algorithms for Embedded System Design written by Rolf Drechsler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolutionary Algorithms for Embedded System Design describes how Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) concepts can be applied to circuit and system design - an area where time-to-market demands are critical. EAs create an interesting alternative to other approaches since they can be scaled with the problem size and can be easily run on parallel computer systems. This book presents several successful EA techniques and shows how they can be applied at different levels of the design process. Starting on a high-level abstraction, where software components are dominant, several optimization steps are demonstrated, including DSP code optimization and test generation. Throughout the book, EAs are tested on real-world applications and on large problem instances. For each application the main criteria for the successful application in the corresponding domain are discussed. In addition, contributions from leading international researchers provide the reader with a variety of perspectives, including a special focus on the combination of EAs with problem specific heuristics. Evolutionary Algorithms for Embedded System Design is an excellent reference for both practitioners working in the area of circuit and system design and for researchers in the field of evolutionary concepts.
