The proposed method is attractive because it can check faults (place faults, transition faults or mixed faults) easily.
The considered circuit, modelled as an asynchronous sequential machine, suffers from the state transition fault caused by the radiation effect.
Moreover, test generation for other fault models such as delay faults is explained, including ATPG for path-delay faults and transition faults.
Traditional delay fault models, the transition fault, gate-delay fault, and path-delay fault, as well as newer models are also presented, including inline delay fault, propagation delay fault, segment delay fault, and defect-based delay fault models.
However in modern integration technology, single stuck at fault model can capture only a small fraction of real defects and as a remedy, advanced fault models such as bridging faults, transition faults, delay faults, etc. are now being considered.
Crustal faults included the Fairweather-Queen Charlotte system, the Denali Totschunda system, the Castle Mountain fault, two faults on Kodiak Island, and the Transition fault, with recurrence estimated from geologic data.
All realistic static coupling faults that have been shown to exist in real designs are considered: state coupling faults, transition coupling faults, write disturb coupling faults, read destructive coupling faults, deceptive read destructive coupling faults, and incorrect read coupling faults.
In [7], authors analyze the performances of HVDC line protection for different fault transition resistance, fault position, etc., and finally present several improvement suggestions.
More importantly, this methodology allows an external mechanism to detect and identify transient state-transition faults through non-concurrent (e.g. periodic) parity checks.
Using indications such as the local geology and structural setting, the number of solutions has been reduced to normal faulting and transition of normal faulting to strike-slip regimes.
