Your road map for meeting today's digital testing challenges Today, digital logic devices are common in products that impact public safety, including applications in transportation and human implants. Accurate testing has become more critical to reliability, safety, and the bottom line. Yet, as digital systems become more ubiquitous and complex, the challenge of testing them has become more difficult. As one development group designing a RISC stated, "the work required to . . . test a chip of this size approached the amount of effort required to design it." A valued reference for nearly two decades, Digital Logic Testing and Simulation has been significantly revised and updated for designers and test engineers who must meet this challenge. There is no single solution to the testing problem. Organized in an easy-to-follow, sequential format, this Second Edition familiarizes the reader with the many different strategies for testing and their applications, and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches. The book reviews the building blocks of a successful testing strategy and guides the reader on choosing the best solution for a particular application. Digital Logic Testing and Simulation, Second Edition covers such key topics as: * Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) and cycle-based simulation * Tester architectures/Standard Test Interface Language (STIL) * Practical algorithms written in a Hardware Design Language (HDL) * Fault tolerance * Behavioral Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) * The development of the Test Design Expert (TDX), the many obstacles encountered and lessons learned in creating this novel testing approach Up-to-date and comprehensive, Digital Logic Testing and Simulation is an important resource for anyone charged with pinpointing faulty products and assuring quality, safety, and profitability.

Device testing represents the single largest manufacturing expense in the semiconductor industry, costing over $40 billion a year. The most comprehensive and wide ranging book of its kind, Testing of Digital Systems covers everything you need to know about this vitally important subject. Starting right from the basics, the authors take the reader through automatic test pattern generation, design for testability and built-in self-test of digital circuits before moving on to more advanced topics such as IDDQ testing, functional testing, delay fault testing, memory testing, and fault diagnosis. The book includes detailed treatment of the latest techniques including test generation for various fault models, discussion of testing techniques at different levels of integrated circuit hierarchy and a chapter on system-on-a-chip test synthesis. Written for students and engineers, it is both an excellent senior/graduate level textbook and a valuable reference.

Today's computers must perform with increasing reliability, which in turn depends onthe problem of determining whether a circuit has been manufactured properly or behaves correctly.However, the greater circuit density of VLSI circuits and systems has made testing more difficultand costly. This book notes that one solution is to develop faster and more efficient algorithms togenerate test patterns or use design techniques to enhance testability - that is, "design fortestability." Design for testability techniques offer one approach toward alleviating this situationby adding enough extra circuitry to a circuit or chip to reduce the complexity of testing. Becausethe cost of hardware is decreasing as the cost of testing rises, there is now a growing interest inthese techniques for VLSI circuits.The first half of the book focuses on the problem of testing:test generation, fault simulation, and complexity of testing. The second half takes up the problemof design for testability: design techniques to minimize test application and/or test generationcost, scan design for sequential logic circuits, compact testing, built-in testing, and variousdesign techniques for testable systems.Hideo Fujiwara is an associate professor in the Department ofElectronics and Communication, Meiji University. Logic Testing and Design for Testability isincluded in the Computer Systems Series, edited by Herb Schwetman.
