摘要:The objective of the BIST is to reduce power dissipation without affecting the fault coverage. Weightedpseudorandom built-in self - test (BIST) schemes have been utilized in order to drive down the number of vectors toachieve complete fault coverage in BIST applications. Weighted sets comprising three weights, namely 0, 1, and 0.5have been successfully utilized so far for test pattern generation, since they result in both low testing time and lowconsumed power. In this approach, the single input change patterns generated by a counter and a gray code generatorare Exclusive–ORed with the seed generated by the low power linear feedback shift register [LP-LFSR]. Sinceaccumulators are commonly found in current VLSI chips, this scheme can be efficiently utilized to drive down thehardware of BIST pattern generation, as well. From the implementation results, it is verified that the testing power forthe proposed method is reduced by a significant percentage.
