Abstract

This paper presents an eficient implication-based approachfor identifying non-robustly untestable path delayfaults. It starts from possible conflicts to find untestablefaults by performing static implication. It is neither path-orientednor space-search based. Experimental results forISCAS'85 benchmark circuits demonstrate that a significantportion of non-robustly untestable path delay faults is identifiedeflciently. The method can be combined easily withATPG-based approaches for path delay testing to yield costeffective methods for path delay faults in large circuits.
