Discussion on stuck-at faults in combinational circuits

1989-7
In combinational logic circuits, stuck-at faults are permanent faults that are modelled as logical problems. In this study, a new method for finding the complete test set of single stuck-at faults is presented. A novel algorithm based on the given discussion is developed and applied to an example.

Complete test generation method for all stuck-at faults in combinational circuits
GURAN, HASAN; HALICI, UGUR (Informa UK Limited, 1990-5)
In combinational logic circuits the generation of complete fault detection test sets requires the determination of the complete test sets of all possible stuck-at faults. In this study, an efficient procedure is developed for finding all the complete test sets of all possible single stuck-at faults in a combinational circuit. The developed procedure primarily uses the properties of logic gates. An example is solved by the use of the developed procedure.
Stabilization of integral-equation formulations for the accurate solution of scattering problems involving low-contrast dielectric objects
Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-03-01)
The solution of scattering problems involving low-contrast dielectric objects with three-dimensional arbitrary shapes is considered. Using the traditional forms of the surface integral equations, scattered fields cannot be calculated accurately if the contrast of the object is low. Therefore, we consider the stabilization of the formulations by extracting the nonradiating parts of the equivalent currents. We also investigate various types of stable formulations and show that accuracy can be improved systema...
Spherical wave expansion of the time-domain free-space Dyadic Green's function
Azizoglu, SA; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Buyukdura, OM (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004-03-01)
The importance of expanding Green's functions, particularly free-space Green's functions in terms of orthogonal wave functions is practically self-evident when frequency domain scattering problems are of interest. With the relatively recent and widespread interest in time-domain scattering problems, similar expansions of Green's functions are expected to be useful in the time-domain. In this paper, an expression, expanded in terms of orthogonal spherical vector wave functions, for the time-domain free-space...
Implementation of the Equivalence Principle Algorithm for Potential Integral Equations
Farshkaran, Ali; Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-05-01)
A novel implementation of the equivalence principle algorithm (EPA) employing potential integral equations (PIEs) is presented. EPA is generalized to be compatible with PIEs that are used to formulate inner problems inside equivalence surfaces. Based on the stability of PIEs, the resulting EPA-PIE implementation is suitable for low-frequency problems involving dense discretizations with respect to wavelength. Along with the formulation and a clear demonstration of the EPA-PIE mechanism, high accuracy, stabi...
Efficient solution of the electric-field integral equation using the iterative LSQR algorithm
Ergül, Özgür Salih (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-01-01)
In this letter, we consider iterative solutions of the three-dimensional electromagnetic scattering problems formulated by surface integral equations. We show that solutions of the electric-field integral equation (EFIE) can be improved by employing an iterative least-squares QR (LSQR) algorithm. Compared to many other Krylov subspace methods, LSQR provides faster convergence and it becomes an alternative choice to the time-efficient no-restart generalized minimal residual (GMRES) algorithm that requires la...
