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.
