摘要: In this paper,a simulation system of pseudo-random testing is described first to investigate the characteristics of pseudo-random testing.Several interesting experimental results are obtained.It is found out that initial states of pseudo-random sequences have little effect on fault coverage.Fixed connection between LFSR outputs and circuit inputs in which the number of LFSR stages m is less than the number of circuit inputs n leads to low fault coverage,and the fault coverage is reduced as m decreases.The l…Abstract: In this paper,a simulation system of pseudo-random testing is described first to investigate the characteristics of pseudo-random testing.Several interesting experimental results are obtained.It is found out that initial states of pseudo-random sequences have little effect on fault coverage.Fixed connection between LFSR outputs and circuit inputs in which the number of LFSR stages m is less than the number of circuit inputs n leads to low fault coverage,and the fault coverage is reduced as m decreases.The l…
