Automatic Test Pattern Generation (ATPG) is the process of generating tests vectors for a circuit given only the physical description of that circuit. Many of today's ATPG systems are based on the D-Algorithm, PODEM, or FAN. This research is focused on the development and use of a more time efficient ATPG system for combinational logic circuits. The ATPG system developed by this research will be based on the Wang algorithm which uses a 9-value calculus. The fault model used is the single stuck-at fault model. Two versions of the system will be developed. The batch version will attempt to determine tests for all single stuck-at faults in the given circuit. The interactive version will allow the operator to select a single fault to be tested. The system will be written in C and developed for the MS-DOS microcomputer environment.Type
