A New architecture of Built-In Self-Diagnosis is presented in this project. The logic Built-In-Self-Test architecture method is extreme response compaction architecture. This architecture first time enables an autonomous on-chip evaluation of test responses with negligible hardware overhead. Architecture advantage is all data, which is relevant for a subsequent diagnosis, is gathered during just one test session. Due to some reasons, the existing method Built-In Self-Test is less often applied to random logic than to embedded memories.  The generation of deterministic test patterns can become prohibitively high due to hardware overhead. The diagnostic resolution of compacted test responses is in many cases poor and the overhead required for an acceptable resolution may become too high.  Modifications in Linear Feedback Shift Register to generate test pattern with security for modified Built-In-Self-Test applications with reduced power requirement. The modified Built-In-Self-Test circuit incorporates a fault syndrome compression scheme and improves the circuit speed with reduction of time.

An efficient, unified algorithm, Advanced Two-Phase Cluster Partitioning, is proposed for automated synthesis of pseudo-exhaustive test generator for Built-In Self-Test (BIST) design. A prototype of the algorithm, Two-Phase Cluster Partitioning, has been proposed and the hierarchical design procedure is computationally efficient and produces test generation circuitry with low hardware overhead. However, in certain worst case, the algorithm may generate a sub-optimal design which requires more test patterns and/or hardware overhead. In order to generate a globally optimal design, further improvement of two-phase algorithm can be achieved by expanding the design space for the formation of linear sum so that the number of test signals required for pseudo-exhaustive testing can be reduced. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach by presenting detailed comparisons of our results against those that would be obtained by existing techniques.

This paper proposes a low-cost test pattern generator for scan-based built-in self-test (BIST) schemes. Our method generates broadcast-based multiple single input change (BMSIC) vectors to fill more scan chains. The proposed algorithm, BMSIC-TPG, is based on our previous work multiple single-input change (MSIC)-TPG. The broadcast circuit expends MSIC vectors, so that the hardware overhead of the test pattern generation circuit is reduced. Simulation results with ISCAS’89 benchmarks and a comparison with the MSIC-TPG circuit show that the proposed BMSIC-TPG reduces the circuit hardware overhead about 50% with ensuring of low power consumption and high fault coverage.
