Novel methods for post-manufacturing and in-field testing of VLSI circuits/systems
… techniques are characterized from their vast intrusiveness to the normal operation of the circuit, resulting to severe performance degradation and, therefore, they are rarely applied (on startup/shutdown of the system and/or on maintenance time windows). To this end, we proposed two new …
