Abstract

Software-based self-Test (SBST) is a self-Test where processors and intellectual property (IP) cores test itself using an embedded memory. However, an environment-limited memory size is one of the biggest challenges. In this paper, we present a new SBST solution using multiple polynomials. For reducing the required test data, the polynomials consist of a primitive polynomial and (BM)-Algorithm based polynomials and each polynomial generates pseudo random patterns and deterministic patterns respectively. Experimental results show that this SBST method reduces the size of the test program without a reduction of the fault coverage.
