Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for forcing stuck-at and transient errors at sequential and combinational logic and signal lines in a large scale data processing system. Error forcing is achieved by including a scan-in gate with error input and address lines for each scan point to be tested. A fault signal of adjustable duration is generated and combined in a unique fashion to an existing scan-in signal to permit either stuck-at or transient errors to be forced.
