CMPE 646 - VLSI Design Verification and Test

Credits: [3]

Description: This course covers the design verification and testing processes applied to VLSI digital integrated circuits. Design and hardware level testing and failure analysis processes are examined in detail. Hardware testing concepts covered include fault modeling, fault simulation, automatic test pattern generation (ATPG), functional test, logic and parametric testing techniques. Built-in self-test, design for testability, sequential test generation issues are also examined. Commercial computer aided verification and ATPG tools are used to generate tests on existing designs.
