THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS AND SPECIFICITY OF MATHEMATICAL MODELLING
Address sequence generator for memory BIST investigation
- 1 Lichtenbergschule Darmstadt
Abstract
In this paper a method of construction of a generator for address sequences with given values of switching activity, based on the Idea of Antonov and Saleev and with use of Toeplitz and Hankel matrices, was proposed. The broad possibilities of this approach and the limitations associated with conflicting requirements for the values of the rows of the matrix and their linear independence are shown. Examples of the formation of standard address sequences used for self-testing of storage devices are described
