Fault simulation applies test vectors to a simulated model of the circuit injected with faults. It calculates two primary metrics:
Early detection via automated testing prevents defective silicon from absorbing downstream packaging and system integration costs. 2. Fundamental Fault Modeling digital systems testing and testable design solution
Digital systems testing is a race against complexity. As we move toward AI-driven chips and sub-nanometer fabrication, the "brute force" testing methods of the past are obsolete. The shift toward represents a fundamental change in philosophy: we no longer just build systems that work; we build systems that prove they work. By embedding intelligence into the hardware itself, we ensure that the digital foundation of our world remains robust, predictable, and safe. Fault simulation applies test vectors to a simulated
