Paper Title
Generation of on-Chip Functional Tests With Reduced Delay and Power
Abstract
This paper describes an on-chip test generation method for functional broadside tests.The hardware was based
on application of primary input sequences in order to allow the circuit to produce reachable states.Random primary input
sequences were modeled to avoid repeated synchronization and thus yields varied sets of reachable states by implementing
a decoder in between circuit and LFSR.The on-chip generation of functional broadside tests require simple hardware and
achieved high transition fault coverage for testable circuits.Further,power and delay can be reduced by using Bit Swapping
LFSR(BS-LFSR).This technique yields less number of transitions for all pattern generation.Bit-swapping(BS) technique is
less complex and more reliable to hardware miscommunications.
