  • Abstract
    We present a new pseudorandom testing algorithm for the Built-In Self-Test (BIST) of DRAM. In this algorithm, test patterns are complemented to generate state-transitions that are needed for the detection of coupling faults. As a result, the number of test patterns required is less than half of the traditional method, while the extra hardware is negligible
