The importance of testing integrated circuits (ICs) has escalated with the increasing complexity of circuits fabricated on a single IC chip. No longer is it possible to design a new IC and then think about testing: such considerations must be part of the initial design activity@ and testing strategies should be part of every circuit and system designer's education. This book is a comprehensive introduction and reference for all aspects of IC testing. It includes all of the basic concepts and theories necessary for advanced students@ from practical test strategies and industrial practice@ to the economic and managerial aspects of testing. In addition to detailed coverage of digital network testing@ VLSI testing also considers in depth the growing area of testing analogue and mixed analogue/digital ICs@ used particularly in signal processing.
