Built-In Self Test for Regular Structure Embedded Cores in System-on-Chip 

Garimella, Srinivas (2005-05-15)
Miniaturization and integration of different cores onto a single chip are increasing the complexity of VLSI chips. To ensure that these chips operate as desired, they have to be tested at various phases of their development. ...

Built-In Self Test of Configurable Memory Resources in Field Programmable Gate Arrays 

Milton, Daniel (2007-12-15)
Testing embedded memory resources in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is difficult because the collective signal fan-in and fan-out is much greater than the available external I/O. A testing approach is needed that ...

Built-in Self-Test and Calibration of Mixed-signal Devices 

Jiang, Wei (2011-05-05)
Wide adoption of deep sub-micron and nanoscale technologies in the modern semiconductor industry is resulted in very large complex mixed-signal devices. It has then become more difficult to estimate and control device ...
