CMOS bridging fault detection

This paper compares the performance of two test generation techniques, stuck fault testing and current testing, when applied to CMOS bridging faults. Accurate simulation of such faults mandated the development of several new design automation tools including an analog/digital fault simulator. The results of this simulation are then analyzed.
