Testing combinational iterative logic arrays for realistic faults

In this paper we give the fundamental theory for testing one or two-dimensional Iterative Logic Arrays (ILAs) with respect to realistic faults requiring two-pattern or generally n-pattern tests. We give conditions so that C-testability and linear-testability are preserved. According to our approach the extensive work made for ILAs under the Cell Fault Model can be easily used to derive an efficient test set of an ILA for more realistic faults.
