Topics in Totally Self-Checking Circuits and Testable Cmos Circuits

Abstract

dc:description

A Totally Self-Checking (TSC) circuit belongs to a class of circuits used for Concurrent Error Detection (CED) purposes. It consists of a functional circuit that has encoded inputs and outputs and a checker that monitors these outputs and gives an error indication. It is known that the traditional stuck-at fault model is not sufficient to model realistic physical failures. Techniques for implementing existing gate-level TSC circuits in nMOS, Domino-CMOS and standard CMOS technologies, so that they are TSC with respect to physical failures, are described. Design methods that reduce the transistor count, delay and the number of tests of TSC checkers are also given.
