Multiple signature analysis: a framework for built-in self-diagnostic
Mark G. Karpovsky, S.M. Chaudhry, Lev B. Levitin · 2003
A framework, based on nonbinary multiple error correcting codes, for built-in self-diagnostics is presented. Novel space-time compressors are proposed for test response compression and fault diagnosis. Fault-detecting and locating capabilities for space-time compressors are analyzed in the case when nonbinary Reed-Solomon codes are used. Fault-masking and diagnosis probabilities for the chip-independent error model are estimated. For this error-model, the fault-masking probabilities are analyzed using the weight distributions of Reed-Solomon codes.>
