Description
A distinctive feature of modern computer equipment development is the continuous increase in functionality and complexity of computer components. As a result of these advances, very large-scale integration (VLSI) circuits have found extensive application in the manufacture of computer products, personal computers included. Among a variety of recently evolved VLSI design technologies, the self-test VLSI design has gained particular prominence. The present study provides a current review on the problems of self-test VLSI design. A summary is given on self-test VLSI design results that have been obtained by scientists in leading scientific centres for computer integrated circuits. Emphasis is placed on the theoretical fundamentals of designing self-test VLSI building blocks, such as built-in test generators and output response analyzers. Particular attention is paid to: structural design of self-test VLSI circuits; design of universal modules for self-test VLSI circuits; and examination of the VLSI circuits for signature testability.
It has been demonstrated that the design-for-testability techniques employed by this method provide ideal conditions for the straightforward implementation of self-test concepts. The work should prove useful for all those interested in both the basic facts and current research in this field.
