Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design an example BIST framework that incorporates both pseudo-random and deterministic test patterns. Justify your choices based on the types of faults you might encounter in the circuits being tested.

💡 Hint: Consider which circuits you are testing and the typical faults they experience.

Challenge 2 Hard

Critically analyze the efficiency of test pattern generation methods in terms of cost vs. coverage effectiveness in a high-volume product setting.

💡 Hint: Think about production runs and quality control requirements.
