Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a BIST system that maximizes detection efficiency for both stuck-at and transition faults. What tests would you include?

💡 Hint: Think about how incorporating multiple patterns enhances fault coverage.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze a real-world scenario where delay faults could critically impact a system’s functionality. How would BIST mitigate these risks?

💡 Hint: Consider the role of timing specifications in high-speed designs.
