Abstract
An overview is presented of the theory and application of cellular automata (CA) with respect to BIST (built-in self test). In particular, it is shown that CA should be given due consideration as a replacement for LFSRs (linear feedback shift registers). Further work is required to address implementation issues, as an LCAR (linear hybrid cellular automata register) generally requires greater area than an LFSR
