Abstract

In this paper we propose an implicit test pattern generation method so that many path delay faults are covered and the dissipated power satisfies a given bound. Typical delay values are considered from an accurate gate delay model. We use a timed ATPG that combines function-based and structural (PODEM-like) methods for faster test generation, which is also more accurate in sequential circuits.
