Contents
Introduction: Problems of system reliability and dependability. Chapter 1: Faults and fault mechanisms in digital circuits and systems. Chapter 2: Technologies for IC production testing. Chapter 3: Methods for built-in self test (off-line). Chapter 4: Methods and Architectures for on-line fault detection and compensation. Chapter 5: Basic architectures for reconfigurable and self-repairing circuits and systems Chapter 6: Challenges in AI Hardware Systems
Learning outcomes
Students learn to regard and to analyze digital circuits and systems with respect to their reliability and dependability. They also learn how to implement mechanism for a fault tolerant behaviour into digital circuits and systems.
