This paper presents a logic diagnosis approach targeting bridging faults. The proposed approach is performed in two phases, (i) a fault localization phase based on the SingleLocation-at-A-Time (SLAT) paradigm determining a set of suspects, and (ii) a fault model allocation phase associating a set of fault models to each suspect identified during the first phase. The main advantages of this approach are that the fault localization phase is fault model independent, and that the fault model allocation phase is able to deal at the same time with several bridging fault models leading to either static or dynamic faulty behaviors. Experimental results on full scan circuits show the diagnosis accuracy of the proposed approach in terms of absolute number of suspects. Moreover, a comparison with an industrial reference tool highlights the reliability of our approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
