On fault coverage and fault simulation for multiple signature analysis BIST schemes

Fault coverage and fault simulation issues related to multiple signature analysis (MSA) built-in self-test (BIST) schemes are treated here. A model to predict the fault coverage is presented. Based on this model, the nature of the fault coverage for MSA is discussed. The fault coverage of MSA is a f...
