Abstract
It is shown that one-dimensional, unilateral iterative logic arrays (ILAs) of combinational cells are C-testable for multiple sequential faults, provided the fault-free cell functions satisfy appropriate conditions. The test sequence is of length O ((m 2n 2+mn 3)× K ), where n (resp. m ) is the number of signal values that can be applied to the horizontal (resp. vertical) cell input and K ⩽n -1. Linear testability is also considered. The ripple-carry adder circuit (n =2, m =4) is shown to be C-testable with 699 test vectors
