Question 1.
What is Built-in Self-Test (BIST)?
Show hintHide hint
Think about self-testing capabilities in electronics.
Question 2.
Define test pattern generation.
Show hintHide hint
It involves stimulating the circuit.
3Question 3.
What does BIST stand for?
- Built-in Self-Test
- Basic Integrated Self-Test
- Built-in System Test
Show hintHide hint
It's a technique related to self-testing.
4Question 4.
True or False: Deterministic patterns are used for covering a wide range of faults.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the purpose of different test patterns.
Question 5.
Design a simple BIST architecture for a digital circuit involving both pseudo-random and deterministic patterns. Explain your choices.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the trade-offs between broad testing and targeted fault detection.
Question 6.
Analyze a given circuit with known stuck-at and transition faults. Suggest a BIST implementation that would effectively detect these faults.
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the fault scenarios and appropriate pattern types.
