Popis: Field testing and field diagnosis are effective ways for achieving high reliability of modern systems. Since they are executed during an idle mode or a start-up mode in a system, they must be completed within very short time. Adaptive diagnosis applies test patterns selectively according to a candidate faults set that is obtained during the fault diagnosis process. In this paper, we propose an adaptive fault diagnosis method using a compact dictionary in order to reduce compute time for deducing candidate faults. A compact dictionary is created by compacting some output values into one bit. Although the compute time is reduced using a compact dictionary, the number of applied test patterns for diagnosis may increase in some cases. We investigate the relation between the size of a compact dictionary, compute time and the number of test patterns by experiments for benchmark circuits.
