A new fault-detection technique,(-scan, for a specific interconnection of the parallel Braun-multiplier [1,2,3] and the parallel divider [3,4] is presented. The fault-detection model, Pair Faults (pf) [5], and its concept of Multiple Fault Boundaries (MFBs) are generalized with new supporting lemmas. The new technique's application is used to detect all multiple stuck-at faults of the carry save adder (CSA) tree and the adder-subtractor (AS) tree [2,3,4,6] with or without being iterative logic arrays (ILAs) and with or without summand-generator embodiment. Fault location is limited. There are 2(n+2) test patterns to be applied to an n x n CSA tree and its associated test gates and 2(n+4) patterns to an m/n AS tree only.
Index Terms:
Parallel multiplier, array multiplier, parallel divider, parallel-array divider, pf-model, design for testability, boundary scan, summand-generator, summand-counter, multiple faults functional testing
