As cross-coupling capacitance generated in transmission line has been an important issue in VLSI world, a couple of ATPG algorithms has been proposed. However they were studied only for a simple single-line effect problem, so it cost so much time for an unsatisfying test generation efficiency. In this paper, we studied a noise model for multiple affected lines and generated test patterns in a short time. This paper proposes a crosstalk model affected by multiple tranmission lines and implemented an ATPG algorithm for detection of crosstalk noise faults. We modeled the crosstalk noise by multiple transmission line and made a truth table for this. We implemented an ATPG algorithm based on PODEM and revealed the results.
