Abstract(in English) In order to detect crosstalk faults that will cause strange errors for future high density synchronous sequential circuits, we have considered a fault model for the fault, and contrived a fault simulator based on the model. In this paper, we considered the crosstalk fault as a erroneous operations caused by crosstalk pulses originated by unexpected strong capacitive coupling between one data line and clock lines. Since we have to consider a timing in addition to a logic value, a unit delay model is introduced to our fault simulation. From our experiments on benchmark circuits, we can see that fault activation rates and fault detection rates are widely varied corresponding to circuit characteristics. Up to 80% fault detection rates are obtained from our simulation with random input vectors.
