    摘要: A test pattern sequence which is used to test a delay fault or an open fault which accompanies a delay occurring in an IC is easily and rapidly generated. A list of locations such as logic gates and signal lines within the circuit where a fault is likely to occur is prepared (101). One of the faults is selected, and an initialization test pattern v1 which establishes an initial value for activating the fault at the location of a fault is determined by the implication operation (103), and a propagation test pattern v2 which causes a stuck-at fault to be propagated to a following gate is determined by the implication operation (105). A sequence formed by v1 and v2 is registered with a test pattern list (107), and the described operations are repeated until there remains no unprocessed fault in the fault list.

    摘要: A fault analysis method and apparatus which is able to improve the reliability of fault analysis of semiconductor integrated circuit. In case of supplying a test pattern sequence having a plurality of test patterns to the semiconductor IC, an analysis point whose electric potential changes according to the change of supplied test pattern is placed corresponding to the test pattern sequence. Then, a transient power supply current generated on the semiconductor IC according to the change of the test pattern is measured and determined whether the measured transient power supply current is abnormal or not. A defection point is presumed based on the test pattern sequence where the transient power supply current is abnormal, and the analysis point placed corresponding to the test pattern sequence.

    摘要: A signal under measurement is transformed into a complex analytic signal using Hilbert transformation to estimate an instantaneous phase of the signal under measurement from the complex analytic signal. A least mean square line of the instantaneous phase is calculated to obtain a linear instantaneous phase of the signal under measurement, and a zero-crossing timing of the signal under measurement is estimated using an interpolation method. Then a difference between the instantaneous phase and the linear instantaneous phase at the zero-crossing timing is calculated to estimate a timing jitter sequence. A jitter of the signal under measurement is obtained from the jitter sequence.
