The dynamic reduction of fault simulation

Fast analog fault simulation is critical in test development and fault diagnosis for analog and mixed-signal circuits. It has been demonstrated that concurrent fault simulation methods can greatly reduce the computational complexity of analog fault ...

Fault simulation algorithms used for large designs propagate a list of faults instead of a single fault in each simulation. Concurrent [10] and deductive [11] fault simulation algorithms are two examples of this kind of algorithm. In this paper, we ...

Abstract: Fault/error injection has emerged as a valuable means for evaluating the dependability of a system. In particular, software-based techniques (which can be described as software-implemented and simulation-based techniques) have become very ...
