Relaxation of operational amplifier parameters after pulsed electron beam irradiation

An approach to modify a given scheduled data flow graph (SDFG) for improving on-line testability olʹ a data path is presented. Each functional unit (FU) of a data path is tested at least once in a time frame called pass. The approach utilizes idle-time of FUs. A given SDFG is utilized to estimate the number of FUs and their idle periods in which certain operations, called idle-time operations, are scheduled. Modified SDFG is utilized by OLI].- FLJ allocation technique presented earlier that minimizes the testing time. Addition of idle-time operations improves the testability without affecting FUsʹ count. The technique yields promising results. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
