Abstract

The paper presents an automatic test vector generation program for detecting bridging faults in combinational circuits using false Boolean functions. These functions are used for solving the system of equations of the circuit concerning controllability, observability and interconnectivity concepts. The presented model applies to bridging faults that do not change the circuit nature i.e. the combinational free-fault circuit with these interconnectivity faults remains a combinational one.
