A method, computer program product and system for testing stuck-at-faults. A first register may be loaded with a first value where the first value may be written into each entry in a memory array. A second register may be loaded with a second value. A third register may be loaded with either the second value or a third value. The second and third values are pre-selected to test selector circuits for stuck-at-faults with a pattern where the pattern includes a set of bits to be inputted to selector circuits and a set of bits to be stored in the memory cells. A value stored in the n-most significant bits in both the second and third registers may be predecoded to produce a predecode value. The predecode value may be compared with the value stored in the n-most significant bits in an entry in the memory array to determine a stuck-at-fault.
摘要:
A method for analyzing a gated clock design in which a disabling clock gating transition prevents an output transition from occurring, assuring that no clock glitching occurs. Delays and slews are computed so that the arrival time computation that includes clock and gate signal delays are computed at the output, providing tests which ensure that no glitch situation occurs. The delays and slews are computed using a static timing analysis, which includes situations such as a late and early arriving gate clock signals. The invention may be used in any static timing analysis test to ensure that a first transition on one input of a circuit prevents the propagation of a second transition on another input of the circuit.
