Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLow Transition Test Pattern Generator Architecture for Built-in-Self-TestP. Sakthivel, A. NirmalKumar, T. MayilsamyProblem statement: In Built-In Self-Test (BIST), test patterns are generated and applied to the Circuit-Under-Test (CUT) by on-chip hardware; minimizing hardware overhead is a major concern of BIST implementation. In pseudorandom BIST architectures, the test patterns are generated in random nature by linear feedback shift registers. This normally requires more number of test patterns for testing the architectures which need … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 21 Jul 2012 · 7,361 accessesView PDFCite
