Abstract

Delay faults are an increasingly important testchallenge. Traditional open and bridge fault models areincomplete because only the functional fault or a subset ofdelay fault are modeled. In this paper, we propose acircuit level model for resistive open and bridge faults. Allpossible fault behaviors are illustrated and a generalresistive bridge delay calculation method is proposed. Thenew models are practical and easy to use. Fault simulationresults show that the new models help the delay test tocatch more bridge faults.
