Introduction – Test Tasks

Fault Diagnosis and Test Generation as direct and reverse mathematical tasks:

dy = F(x1, ... , xn) F(x1 dx1 , ... , xn dxn)

dy = F(X, dX)

Direct task:Test generation: dX, dy = 1 given, X = ?

Reverse task:Fault diagnosis: X, dy given, dX = ?Fault simulation: X, dy = 1 given, dxk = ?

Fault Simulation is a special case of fault diagnosis

Structurally synthesized BDDfor a subcircuit (macro)

To each node of the SSBDD a signal path in the circuit corresponds

Page 18: Tartu Ülikool ,  2 3 . mai 200 3

Technical University TallinnESTONIA 18

SSBDDs vs. BDDsAdvantages of SSBDDs compared to the BDDs:• Complexity explosion is avoided

– The number of nodes is linear with the circuit size (determined by the number of paths in macros)

• Test-specific structural features can be represented– Each node represent a signal path in the circuit– Faults of the circuit are directly represented in SSBDDs– Circuit’s dynamic (hazards, risk, delays) can be investigated with SSBDDs

• Processing speed can be increased due to special properties of SSBDDs– Test generation (search space can be reduced)– Fault simulation (the speed of fault analysis can be increased)– Fault diagnosis (minimization of experiments easily controlled)

Disadvantage: SSBDDs cannot be minimized

SSBDDs vs. BDDsIncreasing the Speed of Fault Simulation with SSBDDs

Theorem:

If a path in SSBDD is activated by a test pattern to 0 (or 1), then no faults can be detected by this pattern at nodes left in the oposite direction 1 (or 0)

SSBDDs vs. Gate-Level Models

Advantages of SSBDDs compared to the Gate-Level Models:• Complexity reduction

– Faults domain: each node represent all the faults of the corresponding signal path (fault collapsing)

– Time domain: each node represent the delay of the corresponding signal path

• Hierarchical approaches are easy– SSBDD for a subcircuit can be represented as a macro– No special manipulation procedures for different macros are needed– No model libraries for different tools are needed
