Abstract
In this paper, we propose a memory BIST Circuit Creation System which creates BIST circuit based on user defined fault model and generates the optimized march test algorithm. Traditional tools have some limit that regenerates BIST circuit after changing the memory type or test algorithm. However, this proposed creation system can automatically generate memory BIST circuit which is suitable in the various memory type and apply algorithm which is required by user. And it gets more efficient through optimizing algorithms for fault models which is selected randomly according to proposed nile. In addition, it support various address width and data and consider interface of IEEE 1149.1 circuit.
