Abstract

Many high-level fault models have been proposed in the past to perform verification at functional level, however high-level automatic test pattern generators (ATPGs) are still in a prototyping phase, while very efficient logic-level ATPGs are available. This paper proposes a strategy to map high-level faults into logic-level faults. Thus, functional verification, based on a high-level fault model, can be performed by exploiting the capability of state of the art logic-level ATPGs.
