Abstract(in English) In this study, we discuss the alleviation of over-testing for approximate circuits. We target a design of approximate multipliers with recovery schemes whose ability of error recovery can be designed according to the requirement of its application. We present an algorithm for generating test-patterns that can detect all the unacceptable faults with keeping the number of acceptable faults detected accidentally small. By applying this test generation algorithm, we analyze the relationship between the design of approximate multipliers with recovery schemes and the over-testing alleviation (or effective yield enhancement).
