An interactive environment for the transparent logic simulation and testing of integrated circuits

Summarization: An interactive environment utilizing a knowledge-based system for the transparent testing of integrated circuits from simulation data has been developed. Unique features of this system are its modularity and its ease of expansion with new simulators and testers. The system uses the Omnitest language and a tester description language. The environment is fully operational and has been used to test several fabricated integrated circuits. An example illustrating the operation of the system is presented.Presented on
