Abstract:Hardware fault-insertion test is a promising method to diagnose functional failures and target "no trouble found (NTF)" problems in electronic systems. However, it is costly and impractical to equip all the potential fault sites with fault-insertion hardware. We present an optimization method to select the most effective outputs of a module where fault insertion logic must be placed to facilitate diagnosis. Faults inserted at the selected outputs are able to generate fault syndromes that are most similar to th… Show more
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.
