Abstract
We propose a method for designing a test pattern generator (TPG) to achieve high-fault coverage for stuck-at faults with short application time during BIST. The TPG consists of shift registers and a small amount of ROM containing test vectors generated by an ATPG tool. Experimental results show that our method can drastically reduce the test length required to achieve high-fault coverage with a small amount of hardware overhead in comparison with an LFSR-based method.
