In error tolerant applications, some specific errors, which are of certain types or have severities within certain limits, of LSIs for such applications are tolerable.
In this paper, we focus on logic optimization of circuits for error tolerant applications[10-12].
In the previous method, to identify removable portions of a logic circuit, the acceptability of stuck-at faults in the circuit is checked by
utilizing threshold test generation algorithm, even though this acceptability identification is time-consuming[12].
To accelerate of this acceptability identification, we propose an acceptability identification procedure based on
necessary assignments requires for detecting unacceptable faults. Discussing the relationship between multiple acceptable faults and necessary assignmetns, we present an algorithm, which is faster than the test-generation-based previous algorithm, to check the acceptability of faults with implication procedure.
Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the computation effort to identify acceptable faults. |
