초록

A new test approach based on a supply current test method is proposed for testing open faults in bipolar logic circuits. In the approach, only the open faults are detected by the supply current test method, which are difficult to be detected by functional test methods. The effectiveness of the approach is examined experimentally on open fault detection in TTL combinational circuits. The results shows that higher fault coverage can be established by applying a small number of test input vectors of the supply current test method after test vectors of functional test methods based on stuck-at models.
