Cellular automata-based signature analysis for built-in self-test
Peter D. Hortensius, Robert D. McLeod, HOWARD C. CARD · IEEE Transactions on Computers · 1990
Relevant signature analysis properties for elementary one-dimensional cellular automata are presented. It is found that cellular automata with cyclic-group rules provide signature analysis properties comparable to the LFSR (linear feedback shift register). A technique of using CALBO (cellular automata-based logic block observation) for both test pattern generation and signature analysis, in a similar manner to a typical BILBO (built-in block observation) implementation, is presented.>
