An analytical method is described for determining the random pattern testability of faults in combinational logic feeding the address inputs of embedded memories. Difference information from replicated copies of embedding logic is used to determine the probability of detecting any fault in the upstream of either a read or write port address decoder. The method can be used with minor extensions to existing detection probability tools such as the cutting algorithm
