Fault Modeling
Faults are the manifestations of physical defects.
Logical fault modeling lead to a number of benefits.
Reducing complexity
Technology-independent modeling
Achieving abstraction
Logical faults-
Explicit – may be enumerated
Implicit – can not be enumerated
Structural – modify the interconnections among components
Functional – modify the functions performed by components
Modeling levels
Modeling can be done at different levels
Geometrical to functional levels
Combinational circuits
Consider an n input fault free combinational
circuit C whose output is F.
Presence of fault f transforms C into differenct
circuit Cf with output Ff(x)
Let t represents specific input vector called test
vector.
F(t) response of C
Test vector t is said to detect fault f iff F(t)!=Ff(t)
Sequential circuit
Circuit SC
Has initial state q
Output F
Fault f and output Scf
Need for a sequence of tests
Sensitized path
In a given circuit , a line whose value under test
t changes in the presence of fault f is said to be
sensitized to the fault f by test t.
A path composed of sensitized lines is called a
sensitized path.
The test t propagates the fault effect along a
sensitized path.
