Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Test compression / decompression is an efficient method for reducing the test application cost. In this paper we propose a response compression method using Huffman coding. The proposed method guarantees zero-aliasing because not only fault-free responses but also faulty responses are mapped into codewords. Moreover the method is independent of the fault model and the structure of a circuit-under-test, and uses only the knowledge of the fault free responses corresponding to a given test input set. Experimental results of compression ratio and the size of encoders by the proposed method are presented.
