On Built-In Self-Test for multipliers

Mary D. Pulukuri, George J. Starr, Charles E. Stroud · 2010

We evaluate some of the previously proposed test algorithms and approaches for various types of multipliers. We present methods to effectively test multipliers independent of their architecture and to achieve greater than 99% single stuck-at gate-level fault coverage with a simple 8-bit or 9-bit binary up-counter and some multiplexers. Finally, we discuss testing the multipliers present in most current Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FGPAs).
