摘要:This paper describes a longest test path selection based on gate delay and probabilistic approach by considering a path delay in a digital circuit. Various methods on longest test path selection are adopted such as longest transition path, segment coverage and heuristics. Preprocessing of Circuit Under Test (CUT) is done for reducing test time and to achieve low power consumption using BIST implementation. Accumulation of small delay defects on a path is identified by computing probability of particular path to meet the delay constraint. Th us the probability is estimated based on gate delay of each path in a digital circuit. Longest path selection approach is mainly chosen to trace out all the logical elements in the circuit. Delay occurs in the circuit due to various factors such as gate delay, interconnect delay, etc. In proposed method longest test path delay is selected from circuit switching activity which is caused mainly due to gate delay.
