Accelerated transition fault simulation

M. Schultz, F. Brglez · 1987

This paper presents a new and an effective approach to fault simulation of transition faults in combinational or scan - based logic. An experiment with a set of benchmark circuits demonstrates the efficiency of the approach, achieved by combining a very fast single stuck - at fault simulation algorithm with a quasi - static definition of a transition fault. Tests that cover transition faults are becoming increasingly important as they also provide a cover for most typical transistor stuck - open faults in CMOS.
