Abstract

This paper suggests three techniques on non-scan DFT of sequential circuits. The proposed techniques guarantee 100% fault efficiency by using combinational ATPG tool. In all the techniques, an additional circuit called CRIS is proposed to reach unreachable states on the state register of a machine. The second and third techniques use an additional hardware DL to uniquely identify a state appearing in a state register. The design of DL is universal. Test length and hardware overhead outperform the similar approaches.
