Answer:
Stuck-open fault
– A transistor becomes permanently nonconducting
due to some defect.
– May require a sequence of test vectors for
detection.
– A combinational circuit can exhibit sequential
behavior.
Consider CMOS implementation of a 2 input (A,B as inputs) NOR gate where the PMOS transistors are T1 and T2, say.
For detecting T1 stuck-open:
– Apply a two pattern test.
• First pattern: AB = 10 or 01 or 11
• Second pattern: AB = 00
– This test will also detect T2 stuck-open.
• Two-vector s-op test can be constructed
by ordering two stuck-at tests.
