β¦ Synopsis
Two faults are said to be equivalent, with respect to a test set T, iff they cannot be distinguished by any test in T. The sizes of the corresponding equivalence classes of faults are used as a basis for comparing the diagnostic capability of two given test sets. A novel algorithm, called "multiway list splitting", for computing the Equivalence Classes of stuck-at faults, in combinational (full scan) circuits, with respect to a given test set is presented. Experimental results presented show the algorithm to be more efficient than previously known algorithms based on decision diagrams and diagnosibility matrix.

## Abstract A new method is proposed to diagnose single stuckβat faults in combinational circuits. In this method, based on the operations of the nonfaulty circuit, first the possible faulty paths are examined from the primary outputs, at which errors have been observed, toward the primary inputs t
A transistor level model and a testing methodology are presented for BiCMOS circuits. The model fully describes the functional (logical) grad parametric behavior of the 13iCMOS circuits in the presence of transistor stuck faults. Tile model employs the logic transistor function (LTF). The LTF descri
