Testing by BILBO


The following picture shows the model of the device with BILBO that will be used in our laboratory work. Three combinational circuits CC1, CC2, and CC3 are given. The number of inputs of these circuits (a1, a2, a3) may be different and not equal to each other. The same holds fot outputs (b1, b2, b3). The circuits are tested with a single BILBO consisting of a random test pattern generator (TPG) and a signature analyzer (SA). Both the TPG and the SA are LFSRs. The TPG generates patterns of width A, where A is greater or equal to the biggest number of inputs among the three circuits. The SA has the length B that is also greater or equal to the biggest number of outputs of the circuits. For example, if a2>=a1 and a2>=a3, then A>=a2. Similarly, if b1>=b2 and b1>=b3, then B>=b1.
