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.

The book will also be a valuable resource for engineers working in the industry. This book has four chapters. Chapter 1 deals with various types of faults that may occur in very large scale integration (VLSI)-based digital circuits. Chapter 2 introduces the major concepts of all test generation techniques such as redundancy, fault coverage, sensitization, and backtracking. Chapter 3 introduces the key concepts of testability, followed by some ad hoc design-for-testability rules that can be used to enhance testability of combinational circuits. Chapter 4 deals with test generation and response evaluation techniques used in BIST (built-in self-test) schemes for VLSI chips.

Download or read book System level Test and Validation of Hardware Software Systems written by Matteo Sonza Reorda and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-30 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New manufacturing technologies have made possible the integration of entire systems on a single chip. This new design paradigm, termed system-on-chip (SOC), together with its associated manufacturing problems, represents a real challenge for designers. SOC is also reshaping approaches to test and validation activities. These are beginning to migrate from the traditional register-transfer or gate levels of abstraction to the system level. Until now, test and validation have not been supported by system-level design tools so designers have lacked the infrastructure to exploit all the benefits stemming from the adoption of the system level of abstraction. Research efforts are already addressing this issue. This monograph provides a state-of-the-art overview of the current validation and test techniques by covering all aspects of the subject including: modeling of bugs and defects; stimulus generation for validation and test purposes (including timing errors; design for testability.
Download or read book Principles of Testing Electronic Systems written by Samiha Mourad and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2000-07-25 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pragmatic approach to testing electronic systems As we move ahead in the electronic age, rapid changes in technology pose an ever-increasing number of challenges in testing electronic products. Many practicing engineers are involved in this arena, but few have a chance to study the field in a systematic way-learning takes place on the job. By covering the fundamental disciplines in detail, Principles of Testing Electronic Systems provides design engineers with the much-needed knowledge base. Divided into five major parts, this highly useful reference relates design and tests to the development of reliable electronic products; shows the main vehicles for design verification; examines designs that facilitate testing; and investigates how testing is applied to random logic, memories, FPGAs, and microprocessors. Finally, the last part offers coverage of advanced test solutions for today's very deep submicron designs. The authors take a phenomenological approach to the subject matter while providing readers with plenty of opportunities to explore the foundation in detail. Special features include: * An explanation of where a test belongs in the design flow * Detailed discussion of scan-path and ordering of scan-chains * BIST solutions for embedded logic and memory blocks * Test methodologies for FPGAs * A chapter on testing system on a chip * Numerous references

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A current trend in digital design-the integration of the MATLAB® components Simulink® and Stateflow® for model building, simulations, system testing, and fault detection-allows for better control over the design flow process and, ultimately, for better system results. Digital Integrated Circuits: Design-for-Test Using Simulink® and Stateflow® illustrates the construction of Simulink models for digital project test benches in certain design-for-test fields. The first two chapters of the book describe the major tools used for design-for-test. The author explains the process of Simulink model building, presents the main library blocks of Simulink, and examines the development of finite-state machine modeling using Stateflow diagrams. Subsequent chapters provide examples of Simulink modeling and simulation for the latest design-for-test fields, including combinational and sequential circuits, controllability, and observability; deterministic algorithms; digital circuit dynamics; timing verification; built-in self-test (BIST) architecture; scan cell operations; and functional and diagnostic testing. The book also discusses the automatic test pattern generation (ATPG) process, the logical determinant theory, and joint test action group (JTAG) interface models. Digital Integrated Circuits explores the possibilities of MATLAB's tools in the development of application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) design systems. The book shows how to incorporate Simulink and Stateflow into the process of modern digital design.
