Fault Detection in a Tristate System Environment

Embedded computers commonly rely on multiple-board systems, called tristate system environments. These environments consist of an interconnect and drivers or receivers with tristate features and boundary scan capabilities. The authors present a comprehensive fault model that provides 100 percent fault coverage and minimizes test set size.
