A Chip for Fault Detection Experiments

Abstract

We present the design and implementation of a chip to serve as a vehicle for test experiments. The chip implements a one-channel 8-bit DMA controller, and includes some special circuitry to act as faults. Each fault can be turned on or off by programming a set of pins and the experiment consists of finding a test set that can recognize a fault when it is turned on.
