Q

What is the value of the even bit parity for “01101100”?

22
Q

The odd parity bit is the inverse of the even parity bit

23
Q

Which operation is used at the receiver to detect if there is a bit in error?

A

XOR between all bits received, INCLUDING the parity bit

24
Q

What is the value of the odd parity bit for “01101111”?

25
which operation is used at the transmitter of data to compute the parity bit?
XOR between all bits to transmitted
26
The difference in arrival time of the clock event (rising/falling edge) at the same location on the ship or on the PCB over a period of time is called:
Clock Jitter
27
The minimum amount of time necessary for the input value to propagate from the moment it is sampled (clock event i.e. or rising/falling edge of the clock) to the output is called:
TcQ
28
The propagation delay through the combinational logic circuit does affect Tmin
True
29
Minimum amount of time the signal has to be stable at the input D of a DFF before the clock event is called:
The set up time
30
The minimum amount of time the D input has to be stable after the clock event is called:
hold time
31
The complexity of a CMOS gate is proportional to the number of inputs the
Longer the propagation delay
32
TcQ is specified in a range of values. to calculate Tmin we use:
Its maximum value
33
The difference in arrival time of the clock event (rising/falling edge) at different locations on the chip or on the PCB is called:
Clock Skew
34
If the propagation delay through the shortest path is longer than the hold time, then
There is NO hold time violation
35
The clock enables scheme below work _________ D -------------->|D Q|----------> Q | | E -------->| \ | | Clock -->| ) --|> Qbar| | / |________|
if we ensure that the E signal doesn't transition from low-to-high during the clock's high half-period
36
To sensitive an OR gate the off-path inputs are tied to:
0
37
An exhaustive test set is one which:
Applies at all inputs ALL possible combinations
38
A stuck-at-1 circuit node or wire means that it is always reading:
Logic 1
39
A complete test set is one that
Can detect ALL faults in a circuit
40
To sensitize an AND gate sets the off-path inputs to:
1
41
Test vectors that contain dont cares, i.e. x's
Can be replaced with test vectors that have the same values except for the bit positions that are x's
42
To test if a DFF is stuck-at-1 we need to scan-in and out a bit sequence that contains at least a:
0
43
A complete test is one that:
Has a complete fault coverage i.e. covers ALL faults
44
To be able to test the NS- and Outputs-CLs:
The DFFs have to be fault-free, i.e. allow us to setup an arbitrary PS combined with a primary inputs TV
45
To be detected, a fault has to be:
Stimulated, then its effect propagated towards an output, where it is finally observed
46
A LFSR is used to generate stimuli (input test vectors)
True
47
One of the disadvantages of the JTAG port and test protocol is:
It needs additional hardware resources, which are not used during normal/nominal operation
48
a LFSR is used to generate an output signature. this is equivalent to a "compressed analysis" of the CUT outputs
True
49
A linear feedback shift register generates a:
Pseudo-random sequence
50
A BIST system:
Adds additional hardware resources which are not necessary during normal/nominal operation
