This paper describes a novel method for generating test stimuli for digital systems. By taking advantage of certain properties of the Design Under Validation, the method can be used to generate test stimuli that is "random" as well as "self-testing". We discuss the requirements and limitations of this method on practical designs. The use of this method for High-Level Design Validation of caches in PowerPC (tm) microprocessors is also described. The paper concludes by identifying areas where further work is needed.
Index Terms:
High-Level Design Validation, Silicon Validation, Pseudo-Random Testing, Microprocessor Testing
