Abstract :
In this paper we present the design of deterministic test pattern generation (TPG) units which can be exploited in a built-in self-test (BIST) scheme for memory neighborhood pattern sensitive fault (NPSF) testing. The proposed TPG units generate the required Eulerian sequence of test patterns for memory type-1 NPSF testing
